OSX: JUNE SHORT INTEREST FIGURES (NYSE; AMEX)
Here's this month's snapshot of OSX short interest, followed by a few thread familiars. I used WSJ's volume to compute days-to-cover ratios. NASDAQ figures due 06/25, so GLBL N/A.
Entries read, left to right: trading symbol, # shares open June 19, % change open shares from May 21, # days' volume to cover. Bold figures indicate month/month percent gain. (Source: WSJ)

Short interest on the NYSE climbed to a record high this month, reaching 7.08 days' volume; the AMEX bears set a record as well. Meanwhile, most of our beleaguered favorites experienced some covering. This move by OSX shorts must be, finally, what analysts mean when they talk about profit taking.
