Thanks, the Vet. I had always thought that short interest was reported as of the 10th of the month. And I share the same peeve about delayed reporting. Given that it is as of the 14th, I am completely befuddled about the rise in the short interest. I certainly expected a substantial decline given (1) the low stock price, (2) most of the short interest was accumulated at far higher prices...there is only a little more blood they can possibly squeeze out of the VLNC turnip, (3) the 3 million share day on S&P delisting day (June 12) provided the kind of selling volume into which the shorts could have easily covered.

The Vet: Which brings up one of my pet beefs. Why is short interest only compiled monthly and then only published almost 2 weeks later when it is almost useless? HERE, HERE! I'm in complete agreement. To my mind there's absolutely no reason it cannot be done...excepting it must obviously be to someone's advantage not to......(but there I go being all paranoid again, VBG). John~
