Your conclusion is not supported, it is self serving. Your thinking is wrong, because there is absolutely no reason why pre-split numbers would be reported for the April number. That position is senseless. The only reason to keep insisting on it is because it serves your purpose of fooling the gullible into believing that there may be an imminent short squeeze. The split had been distributed weeks before in March. The stock was trading post split in April when the numbers were compiled. The only logical conclusion is that the previously reported numbers were adjusted for the split. It is a fact that most data sources adjust for splits. The fact that the short interest reported previously doesn't vary much from that reported in April does not mean that the April number is reported pre split. That's just ludicrous. What it very likely means is that the previous numbers were adjusted for the split. Oh, the other thing that supports this position is that the average volume is reported correctly. Reality is that the short interest is as reported by the exchange. That you want to twist the facts won't change them. Having explained this to you several times, I guess I will let you have the last insistence that your illogical and senseless position is correct, assuming you don't post anything too outrageous. Hey, you may as well post that grass is yellow and the sun is green while you're at it. Perhaps if you post that enough they will switch colors for you. Regards, Barb
