Hi Dennis,

As you have seen on the Yahoo board, the short interest has been posted to be at 2.8 million as of the end of May. At least that's what people keep saying. These numbers never seem to add up on ADVH.

If these institutions took possession of their shares, that would drive the shorts crazy.

Can anybody answer why that can't happen? Don't they essentially have their own traders so aren't their shares not in street name? How can you short so many shares in a stock with such a small float?
