That is why Mish and others see short %-ages above 50 and even above 100. Very bizarre, but true, it seems No. I think you are right; you cannot get greater than 50% short interest. Short interest is normally compared to float, not to total shares outstanding. When there is a small float, you can get over 50% of FLOAT...it can NEVER be greater than 50% against all shares outstanding. btw--the same shares cannot be borrowed twice to short.
