Ron Perhaps you can explain what the WSJ to me is. I am not familiar with them. The place I usually go to find a short position is the following thread.

viwes.com

It shows a short value of:
07/98 of 255,404 shares
06/98 of 312,612 shares

These values are only calculated on a monthly time frame and I believe it is impossible to get real time values as you would need to pole every brokerage house in America to be accurate. I would also differentiate with you ( and please correct me if I am wrong ). If an individual shorted 50,000 shares on a day of 100,000 volume and with the market in a general down trend it could have an immediate effect on the share price and may cause a panic. Now add in the confusion of a few libels nay sayer on yahoo and then couple that with some stop loss sales you might have or start a down word movement in the stock price. Particularly if you could scare a few shareholders into selling. I am very long on GBIT and plan on the price moving towards the 2.00 range over the next two months. But I would not minimize the effect that shorter's may have or the slander that is being spread about the company.

The problem is HEDGED short positions from the convertibles in Canada that DO NOT get reported in the WSJ.
