re: Short Interest. I believe the 3,624,304 number is the short interest as of Oct 15. The Nov 14 number (most recent) is 4,471,949. This is 15.6 percent of 28,573,000. But I think the average daily volume's relationship to short interest may be more relevant. A small sampling: Cymi's short interest divided by avg vol= 3.08 Amat=.46 Etec=.54 Svgi=1.42 Asmlf=.15 Pria=.25 I do find this worrisome because I don't understand why it should be so. I like the convertible bond theory, but why aren't the short's covering now at these prices? I guess it's possible that several million shares could be slowly oozing out from the shorts since mid-Nov, but looking at the volume I don't believe it. Has anyone seen this sort of situation before? Any viable hypotheses? This is my first post. I am long Cymi @ 27.
