Short data is kept secret for 30 days for one reason only- it allows big money to organize short squeezes. All those brokerages and market makers know exactly where everyone's pain point is. They have the data in real time. They know just what it takes to trigger a stop, and at what point margin calls will happen. And if you think your own brokerage doesn't have a trading desk that will make trades against YOU, you're dreaming. If short data were available on a real-time basis to the general public, that information would no longer be profitable for them. They will not give it up willingly. Trust me. The nasdaq and dow gods have just in the past month made free real-time quotes impossible. Wonder why they would want to do that, hmm? Nasdaq bought Island for the sole reason that Island had become a reliable source of free real-time quotes because their exchange was big enough that it represented almost exactly what the nasdaq was trading at, even though they weren't "using" nasdaq's quotes. Nasdaq couldn't figure out a way to ban that, so they just bought them. ----------- Better yet the stock exchanges should publish data on stock shorting as quickly and completely as purchase transactions, instead of monthly. Isn't that what transparency is about?
