didn't see your post or wouldn't duplicated it; i guess great minds think alike <g>
IMHO the trend in the short interest is more important that the absolute number because a lot of shorts will cover their positions with options

it looks like short covering helped this stock rise to the $9.50 in early July
chart2.bigcharts.com

however i would bet that the short interest have grown since 7/15/98. However a 4 million figure will provide plenty of boost to this stock when a qual at WDC is announced.

Hopefully we will have some good news regarding GMR during the WDC CC - like WDC plans to use RDRT's as well as IBM's

Dennis, Marty

Thanks for the link.

<<Does it mean the shorts are getting out, or that the stock has already gotten some rise out of short coverage from the 6 million level to the 4ish million level?>>

It means there is less short interest then a month ago. <G>

best,
Stitch
