Yes, of course that's exactly right. Short interest can never reach 50%. Effective short interest, via options, is theoretically possible though, isn't it? It seems a moot point since short interest never exceeds a tiny % of outstanding shares even in the most irrationally un-exuberant moments. Therefore, money made by shorts is never more than a tiny % of wealth destroyed.

Dear Steve and what does that borrowed replica shares cost get booked at?

Problem for you is that the liability for each borrowed share can only be assumed within a model. You guys are set up big time.....if JT's repoting is correct,the Pros may not be interested in selling into your assumed parameters...but then again, they might, maybe,ugh, not so sure.

caveat being, I have no time line, today tomorrow, next month, next year...oh well

Have to disagree. I have seen many stocks greater than 50% short.

Assume a company with 10 shares. I own all 10 shares.

You want to short 10 shares. I loan them to you. You are short 10 shares, I am long 10 shares.

100% short. Whats the problem.

RAD was 110% short last year.
Honest to god and that should not be possible at all.
Just looked but only 34% short now.

CCMP is 45% short now but was over 50% not too long ago.
