Chris,

>>>>> NYSE anounced that....
A record 5.58 billion shares are shorted on the NYSE....
unconfirmed, but i view it as contrarian. <<<<<

Why is it contrarian? Have you done a statistical analysis on short interest to support that conclusion? I havent due lack of data.

Since I have not done a statistical analysis, my first thought on a subjective basis would have been that high short interest was bearish. Firstly, I believe that very few individual investors short relative to the WHOLE market and the majority of the short volume is from institutions.

So if you are correct that high short interest is bullish, that would imply also that the majority of the institutions are wrong. With all their manipulative skills, its hard for me that assume that they will be wrong more often than now. Just talking subjectively.
