>>Andy, the number of shares short is not what is keeping the price down.The act of shorting can drop the price. In fact , sometimes a large short position in a stock can be good.<<

That much I understand. Are we agreed then that Farallon has no reason any more to keep the price of LGND down?

Celeryroot, It looked like about 58,700 shares were used to cover the shares shorted on Oct 20, 21 and Nov 4 and 5. The additional shares were all delivered on 11/24 for earlier shorts. They add up to approximately 1.66 million (298,155 + 346,560 + 346,560 + 94,185 + 94,185 + 21,533 + 21,533 + 50,655 + 50,655 + 58,848 + 80,350 + 29,512 + 58,848 + 80,350 + 29,512).
