> ATHM has 24M shares short, which is 24% of the float?

Fancy that! A GMST regular on ATHM! I took a position in ATHM for the same reason(large short/float ratio, good support at low prices and bullish options interest).
The 24% short interest is a 40 day old figure--pre correction. I would be interested in looking at the current short interest when it becomes available.

RocketMan, the 24MM short position was as of 3/15, before the AT&T news, at the end of March.
ATHM spiked to nearly $40 on the AT&T news.
I'm guessing that the spike was due, in part, to shorts covering.
It will be interesting to see the next 4/15 short report, which should be out any day now.
