When the last data is 4m short in a 9m float and SURE has been shorted heavily as a story stock spike since then, I reckon you have to take it into account. Much like AMZN in 1998-1999 when more than 100% of the float was short at times, and some diligent shorts were wiped out before the stock settled back closer to fair value. Just a word of caution to newbie short who may be lurking here. I have a good-sized short in KOPN with a target of 10-11. You may want to check it out, very liquid and not much squeeze potential on top of a ridiculous price-revenue multiple.
