Can anyone tell me what the short interest is on the stock now? I noticed the following quotes... 12 5/16 3:52pm 12 1/4 12 5/16 13343600 12 3/16 3:52pm 12 1/8 13 3/16 13389300 11 9/16 3:53pm 12 1/16 12 1/8 13464100 -what happened here? 12 1/8 3:53pm 12 1/16 12 1/8 13523100 It looks like the 3:53 'blip' on the ticker was an indicator to someone that there was where they were going to close the stock at. I remember reading things like this happening in the book. "Secrets of the Street. The dark side of making money." Because it seems odd that the stock was moving to fast going down and then when it hit 11 9/16 on the bid, the stock all of a sudden found support with large bid sizes. Makes you wonder???
