Hi Bio, I took a look at the Short Sales on IBB - the NASDAQ Biotech Index fund. There's been quite a bit of short covering in the last few months.
IBB (NASDAQ BIOTECH INDEX FUND) DATE SHARES SHORT AVE DAILY VOL RATIO 04/03 1,221,626 354,127 3.45 03/03 1,507,527 218,842 6.89 02/03 1,708,058 284,957 5.99 01/03 2,015,477 408,681 4.93 12/02 2,208,889 294,358 7.50 11/02 1,469,184 513,465 2.86
Looks like the Shorties have taken their profits and headed for other grounds. I know my own biotechs have been doing pretty well in the last month of so.
Best regards, Tom |
