Hi SC, I've not checked short interest on JBL for a long
time. I have a source for NASDAQ shorts on-line, but not
the NYSE. Here's the other two -
SANM
DATE SHARES SHORT AVE. VOL. RATIO
07/02 14,695,682 7,648,561 1.92
06/02 17,566,960 8,356,304 2.10
05/02 19,866,673 8,937,259 2.22
04/02 16,501,256 7,305,735 2.26
03/02 17,876,828 11,453,595 1.56
02/02 17,283,328 13,608,154 1.27
AND FLEX
07/02 7,282,143 13,173,000 0.55
06/02 5,984,523 12,996,255 0.46
05/02 6,139,225 10,158,109 0.60
04/02 9,774,284 9,596,825 1.02
03/02 14,264,443 16,028,095 0.89
02/02 17,338,743 12,189,796 1.42
Sorry I don't have JBL's. It looks like now that SANM's SCI
merger is settling down that shorts are diminishing a bit.
FLEX eliminated much of the short position earlier this
year and since has been more stable. Trade volume is
actually more interesting between these two companies. After
FLEX's shorts were pretty well covered, volume started to
pick up again. SANM's volume has been drying up.
I guess I'm just trying to find some new tea leaves to read.
In the mean time, I'm content with this most recent
improvement in JBL's price/share. Nibbled away when the
price was down, so have some inventory which can be sold
profitably in the low $20s.
Best regards, Tom |
