(And perhaps over the next 10,000 posts, last more than the 1 miserable day that we have managed to trade above his $46/share. ) Very good observation! I wonder if the thread-father is still active here... So it came down from 56 to 46 "for no particular reason"(sic) and yet, during the next 2 1/2 years, went down nearly to 1/3rd of 46 and has traded below 46 all the time except for one measly afternoon! I know of a friend who got off at 54 and was the subject of ridicule for a couple of weeks when the stock raced from 56 to 61 in one day! If I remember right, he got back in at 21... Dipy.

Dear Shane, I don't find LSI's short interest all that meaningful since a lot of it is held by day traders who are "short the box" on a day to day basis in order to take advantage of drops in the price and avoid the downtick rule for shorting a stock as well as avoiding momentary dips. On a day to day basis these divergencies appear when LSI is out of synch by a few ticks from other semi prices. LSI is an excellent stock for using this technique, and I recommend it highly for those day traders who love the high beta of LSI--a beta that reflects your "Good LSI Bad LSI" scenario.
