The biggest flaw in your thinking is treating the shorts as a collective. BINGO! It is a flaw exhibited by almost all rabid longs. Maybe it dates back to elementary school days, when they were always picked last to be on a team. This is not a team sport people. Individual longs and shorts open and close their positions at different times, and hold them for different lengths. People on both sides can win, or lose. For example, if I am short 1000 shares, I only have to cover 1000 shares, not 2 million, as it is usually stated. The lack of investment/speculation knowledge exhibited by some longs is amazing. The worst part is they never seem to learn the error of their ways.

The all time low of the stock was in 2008. There was 1 million shorted shares still not covered at that time. Since then the position has still not been below the 500K that was short in 1999. Mercedes and other auto OEMs will be adding to the 2MM annual revenue in a substantial way. New model introductions every year just add more revenues on top of the ones that are already being received. Don't care if shorts have long accounts. It makes no difference to the bottom line, profits and dividends. ND
