Hi JB, I thought JBL steadied out nicely this week. Maybe the pendulum has travelled as far as it's going to this trip. <OT> Regarding ACTM short interest: DATE SHARES SHORT AVE. DAILY VOL. RATIO 09/01 6,374,976 262,723 24.27 08/01 6,559,222 480,495 13.65 07/01 6,618,873 542,243 12.21 06/01 6,270,981 368,314 17.03 05/01 6,353,908 407,387 15.60 04/01 6,387,250 481,620 13.26 03/01 6,689,735 538,635 12.42 02/01 6,576,489 637,540 10.32 01/01 6,536,235 1,329,471 4.92 * Ratio = Shares Short / Avg Daily Volume; it may be used as a rough measure of days to cover. ACTM's top 20 ranking(s) for the past three months: 07/01: 10th on ratio of short position to average daily volume Alert(s) on ACTM from Monthly Watch for the past three months: 09/01: average daily volume at 12-month low 09/01: days-to-cover at 12-month high It looks like the SHORTS have been there all year and have been stubborn about covering their positions so far. Maybe it's greed. With trade volume way down (along with many other stocks) I'd guess the shorts are getting a bit nervous. Hope this helps, Tom PS: I don't have a similar source of info on-line for NYSE stocks unfortunately. Otherwise I'd list JBL's for the same period.
