Daniel,

You certainly can. Many highly shorted companies have this phenomenon of more shares short than are actually borrowed. Someone on SI used to post different companies in this situation. He would take the float, add management held shares, then add the short interest. And if the total was more than the total outstanding shares of the corporation, that was the sure sign that more shares were short than were actually borrowed.

No..there is never that much money chasing the short side..Even in AMZN which has a huge short position it still is less than 50 % of the float ..DBCC on the other hand..doesnt have any way near the support as a thinly traded Ebay or the such so Short squeezes are only 5 to 10 points deep..Not bad....at all and very manageable
