You know , I was thinking this morning( about this short interest).. Always a bad sign...
Anyway say I own 1,000,000 shares of cube, and like Bobby G, I lend it out to be shorted...
These 1,000,000 shares are shorted by Anonomus Chen.
Vintho then buys these 1,000,000 shares since he is so content (places them in a margin account)...
Could you not short the 1,000,000 shares Vintho has?? That is Vintho, lend the shares our, or his firm could, correct??
You then could have infinite amount of shares short.. As long as # longs-# shorts = 38,000,000 Right??
This also implies a multiplier factor... That is if we can remove some shares from being lent out (Bobby G, this mean you) perhaps you may have an X*shares effect being forced to cover?? This causing a short squeeze??
Thoughts, anybody???
