Hi Tom, FWIW, I don't think it is inconsistent to suggest that high short interest indicates "a strong expectation that the market would drop significantly" while low short interest indicates that if a drop occurs it has a greater chance of getting very ugly before a bounce. I usually don't worry about high short interest (except in stocks that look "cheap"; Waste Management was a great example of this) but low short interest bugs me. IMO, it is a little like driving in a car without airbags: you aren't at greater risk of getting into a collision, but in the event you do, the experience is more likely to be unpleasant. What's the story on XRX? Ganesh (who got stopped out of YHOO today, possibly setting some kind of record for losing trades in one of the greatest stocks of the last ten years...)
