Someone must have taken the other side of the shorted stock. But 187% appears strange to me. I noticed this earlier in the brokers stock - 107% Message 24471528 finance.yahoo.com

The five new Diller entities are amazingly cheap. The only one which I won´t buy is Lendingtree for obvious reasons. I shorted a few TREE shares. The old IACID stub seems the most undervalued. ALso Interval IILG is somewhat underrated and already recovers. Ticketmaster and HSNI a bit expensive.
