My numbers may not be up to date but are probably close any updates would be welcome.
Shares 31,722,000
Float 20,900,000
Inst.Held 8,725,000
Shares available to short* 11,500,000
Shares short 4/25 11,456,000

*shares held in street name.

It appears to me that for every share removed from street name would result in a short position being called. Those so inclined may want to request their shares be registered in their name. Lets hope for upgrade, plant approval, new inst. buying etc to start a squeeze. A new round of buying should move price up fairly quickly since there are no more shares available to short and hold price down. Things could happen quickly and if enough of us are willing to let the squeeze run and not sell to soon I expect price could more than double in less than a week.
