>>The number of shares sold short in the market had jumped from a mere 775 to an incredible 472,016, or close to a third of the average number of shares changing hands in the open market each day. Is it any wonder the price of Euroweb had soared? It was being forced up by a short squeeze ­¦ a squeeze that was making millionaires out of holders of the warrants.<<

Oh, I forgot this part. The short interest jumped to the "incredible" number of 472,016, "or close to a third of the average of number of shares changing hands in the market each day."

Incredible? That's a short cover ratio of 0.3 days, which I believe all experienced market analysts would refer to as "microscopic" or "inconsequential." Incredible? The only thing incredible here is that a financial writer would fall so far into error in what is a very basic area. Large short positions are in the 20-70 range. See for yourself: viwes.com

No 0.3's there. Was Byron confused? Or was he just simply "short" of negative arguments.
