DESC - short interest update Short Interest increased between March and April. SI went from 4,363,744 to 4,659,073shares, which is ~ 7%increase. Looking forward to Q1 report next week. Responding ToMessage #215 from Rutgers at 3/30/2006 9:04:09 AM DESC - short interest update Short Interest significantly increased between Feb and March. SI went from 2,527,809 to 4,363,744 shares, which is a 72%increase. Of course, since DESC warned earlier this month, it is not surprising to see this increase. Having said that, I gotta believe that the buy-out potential alone would support the stock at significantly higher levels. Responding To Message #186 from Rutgers at 2/27/2006 5:17:51 PM DESC - short interest update I gotta say that this is a surprise to me - Short Interest once again increased between Jan and Feb. SI goes from 2,201,819 shares UP TO 2,527,809 shares, which is another 14%increase. Anything can happen (and likely will happen), but this company looks damn cheap to me at these prices (under $10), i.e., I really don't understand who is shorting - aren't there better opportunities out there? Of course, the total SI is not huge relatively speaking - on ~31 mill float (and not sure that is the correct #), this represents only eight percent (8%). Responding To Message #165 from Rutgers at 1/28/2006 5:21:24 PM DESC - short interest update Short Interest increased a lot from Dec to Jan. SI went from 1,725,333 shares to 2,201,819, which is more than a 27% increase. Cool! Responding ToMessage #139 from Rutgers at 12/28/2005 5:01:22 PM DESC - short interest update Short Interest decreased a little from Nov to Dec. SI now stands at 1,725,333 shares. FROM PRIOR POST at 11/29/2005 Short Interest increased another 31% since October's report - nasdaqtrader.com. Short Interest increased to 1,994,829 shares. This is very good to see b/c it should provide some fuel for a future short squeeze.
