Sandie,
I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the short interest. I wondered a lot about that and after the stock sold off as much as it did with no covering, I concluded it must be related to some derivative transactions. You know, some firms specialize in converting large insider positions to other instruments through options, etc. I suspect there's some of that in the short interest. If that's what it is, that large short position would be fully hedged.
