2 weeks ago specialist short selling as a percentage of selling zoomed to a horrendous 44%...naturally that information is reported in barrons 2 weeks after the fact...thats one piece of information that will never ever be reported in a timely fashion in barrons..... Does that mean short covering could be on the way? What is a normal percentage for specialist short selling versus selling. I believe corporate insider selling ends by end of March for those companies that report earnings in April (at least that is my understanding) thanks.

This is simply incredible; 2 weeks ago specialist short selling as a percentage of all selling zoomed to a horrendous 44%...naturally that information is reported in barrons 2 weeks after the fact...thats one piece of information that will never ever be reported in a timely fashion in barrons..... Now I've been at this a long time, my entire investment outlook is investing in Supply imbalances. I focus on finding and working free floats in all of my stocks, and then studying the action against that number. By way of example; take ENER. ENER is arguably one of the MOST valuable companies in America, on a forward looking basis,yet it is quite possibly being shorted intraday at above the 44% figure. The fact above trumps all truth and market credability,leading one to a simple conclusion; The Valuation game in stocks like ENER is wholly a lie, Mr Markets price suppression programs are geared as always not to reflect the true Supply and demand, but a false supply surplus created out of thin air. Scarcity as a Valuation Metric is going to become increasingly important as we move closer to the day when Social Security administration becomes the countries largest shareholder. There is absolutely NO REASON why stocks in the Supply range, & with the fundamental outlook of ENER, should not be valued at 300 to 500 dollars per share. Scarcity in the face of the Reality of forward looking statements demands the market redress it's own inadequacy. IE when 44% or more of selling is shorts, and individual shareholders are kept unaware of this. This paints a fraudulant picture of the true value of their investments in the present tense. With a float wound as tight as ENER, a false 44% increase in a precious free float,so horribly obfuscates supply as to lack credability, this demands redress. In other words, this borders on theft by deception. I smell class Action?
