Anyone think once we can have a blow off when the funds have officially finished the window dressing? Yes I know the quarter is over, but it seems some money has been flowing into the undervalued beat up stuff the last couple days.. CAN I SHORT AMZN YET? :) Waiting to take the plunge.. My last short was PRST, got in to early and couldn't hold on..... Huge loser for me cause I ran out of funds. Not a problem now, plenty of funds for a few hundred share short..

Hey Candlestick, What is driving this thing upward? I'm really surprised that the short % is so low. If the float is 11mm, this stock could really fall quickly when it does turn. Kirby

I don't know exactly why the # short is actually higher than the float, but the data is reliable.

Stick, I can't believe that insiders have been able to dump 8 million shares in the last few months (and keep the price climbing). Is there any way to check this data on the float from another source? TW
