short position increased from 2.8 to 4.2 million shares (22.5% of float as of Jan 8). Hummmmm.... that's alot. I have the funny impression lots of shorts were caught betting the wrong way and now they are stuck. I would be surprise they had the time to cover this huge short position before the earnings release on Jan 23. We could be in for a surprising rise in DFXI as these shorts capitulate. I hope some big player with deep pockets notices and squeezes these guys pretty hard. T--
