Well, that obviously was not the short interest at the beginning of the day. But, it probably is or less now.

>>If you had been in ABRX it's 99% likely that you would have sold your shares for 25 1/2. One of the funnier things about this is that ABRX short interest for 6/99 was 14,504 shares.<< The short interest has increased significantly since last week because it moved up a few points over the takeover price of $25 1/2 (the $25 1/2 takeover is a done deal). Shorts must believe that it's a sure thing to pocket the difference. If it's not shorts who were desperately buying to cover, who else would pay $100 for a $25 1/2 stock?
