Susan,

I noticed the same thing as you yesterday. The priced dropped immediately and quickly as soon as the short interest piece aired on CNBC.

I was totally surprised, since a large short interest on a stock with an increasing price is good for the longs. I couldn't understand the selloff. The market decline didn't help, but the timing was too close to the CNBC piece to be coincidental.

I have asked a couple of people why that news would have caused people to sell, and have not been able to get any answer.

Maybe someone else has an opinion?
