As the short interest report as of Nov 15 is due this Friday, I emailed the NasDaq about the short positions of market makers and whether those were included in the short report. __________________________________________________________ To: isfeedback@nasdaq.com Subject: your definition of 'Short Interest' Gentlemen: Your definition of short interest includes this phrase: 'Firms are required to report their short positions as of settlement on the 15th of each month. A compilation is published eight business days after. It is not clear if the short position of Market Makers is included in the short total reported. Could you clarify this, please? ________________________________________________________ The answer is yes. All market participants are instructed to report their short positions. To calculate short interest in Nasdaq stocks, NASD member firms are instructed to report to the NASDR TS-Customer Advocacy & Quality Management Department, on a monthly basis, their short positions, for all accounts, in shares, warrants, units, ADRs, and convertible preferreds resulting from short sales. Once the short position reports are received by the Product Deployment and Support Department, the short interest is then compiled for each Nasdaq security.

Ed, In all my years of investing, Ancor has been my best effort. My question regarding the stock price was my effort at trying to determine if there was some theoretical price at which the stock would stop moving up. Thanks to my friends here, I realize that basically, a 1.5 million share dilution was performed. After that, the Sun contract is straight forward revenues and profits. Having lived through the floorless convertible, this is a no-brainer! wj
