<<The increase in short interest to over 1 million ensures that there is a nice cushion on the downside, with a big potential on the upside. Consider that there are 15 million shares outstanding, >60% held by institutions and insiders. That leaves about 6 million in the float of which 20% has already been borrowed by the shorts. Any significant news will cause a serious order imbalance. Market makers have learnt their lesson and would hike the ask price rapidly, rather than taking up short positions themselves to fill the orders. >> Who are you kidding? Only for the past 2 days volume was around 7 million. So what?
