I do not think that this indicates the trading for the houses' accounts, so we cannot know from these data if there was shorting or all transactions were between willing sellers and willing buyers just going through those brokers. Zeev

Hi Moreno: There's no way that short positions can be interpreted from daily house positions. You would have to go back to day 1 (start of trading) and track their trading history through to present. Even then, all you could tell is that if they have been net sellers as of today, then they have either been shorting, selling new paper by way of insider options or warrants, or shareholders have moved their shares to another broker. The VSE short positions report is the only way I know and we all know that this is highly suspect since it does not capture all short trades especially uncovered ones. I'm doing some experimentation, by combining trading histories and VSE short reports, on another stock that I'm following - too early to tell yet. If it does work, it will be impractical to track stocks with long trading histories. Regards
