You were saying it is obvious from the volume it traded. How is it obvious? Say I have 1000 shares of KTEL, I sell it to you. So the volume shows 1000 shares traded, you turn around and sell it back to me. Now we are where we started and trading volume shows 2000. Repeat that whatever times and get millions traded. And there is no shorting. Actually, Nasdaq double counts the shares traded. Say I have 1000 shares of KTEL, I sell it to you; the volume is 2000 shares traded per Nasdaq accounting here. you turn around and sell it back to me. Now are ......; the total trading volume is 4000 shares traded per Nasdaq accounting.

RE > Everybody is asking you a simple question. Why aren't you answering the damn question??? & Where in the hell did you come up with the 13 mil shares short interest in KTEL? This is not asking it's demanding, and I don't respond well to self appointed cyper dicks. Whats in it for me if I tell you how I got my number ? From the time of my first post, only one person has asked me in a civil way and I answered him in a privet message, the rest of you can flap in the wind. Shout a little harder and hunt up some more high class expletives. Get it in you head if you can get your head from up your rectum that I have no intention of giving you the satisfaction of an answer as to me that would be condescending on my part. --------------- But I'm glad I made your day and gave you the opportunity of feeling important in your rather crude and feeble attempt to tackle me. Maybe you can get the entire thread to pile on <G> but it won't do you much good. ---------------- But if I had a name Gok han maybe I be as troubled as you seem to be..and Gez mis so glu , now I can't even say that without laughing , were you by chance named after a clown ? LOL

>>>Say I have 1000 shares of KTEL, I sell it to you. So the volume shows 1000 shares traded, you turn around and sell it back to me. <<< Actually the market maker buys from you (1000) and sells to him (2000), and then buys from him (3000) and sells to you (4000). And it counts like that every time it swaps back and forth. Barb
