I have a rule of thumb which is that when the short ratio is very high, say over six, then one should avoid the stock. It's kept me out of trouble but naturally the sample size is too small to justify any strong advocacy of this "rule." Your trial investment in MNY defies a legion of short sellers. It's an interesting experiment. My guess, and it's a rather ignorant guess, is that the short sellers do more homework than the longs. So when they gang up on a stock it is likely a bad buy. I may be talking nonsense, of course.
Good luck, anyway.
O BTW, I have no position in MNY, long or short.
