I'm no expert on shorting stocks or short interest. But, I found this on Companysleuth.com.
It looks as though short interest dropped some last month. I don't know more recent numbers.
Probably not available. My guess is when
a stock (most any stock) has a quick run up in price like GBLX has then it gets noticed by
short sellers who anticipate the "inevitable" correction in price.

But, from the table above it appears that since GBLX has held it's price up relatively well
over the last couple months some of the shorts have bailed.

I'm sure there are others on this thread with more insight into how this part of the market works.

looks to me to be oversold at this point. any positive closing should point the way back up. i sure do not know why the short interest in this stock. jim
