Rising short interest: The shorts have done quite well on this stock in the past several months, but if the numbers are better than expected watch for a quick and bloody squeeze to shake out these nearly 8% of short shares. That could put the stock up over 3 or 3 1/2 very fast, though whether that is a sustainable level will depend upon the actual numbers. I think it is reasonable to expect a squeeze on the shorts, if the numbers are 6 or more Q2 sales and SERIOUS evidence that the Q3 and Q4 sales are going higher. |
