Largest Changes in Short Interest

Rank Feb. 15 Jan. 15 Change
1 AT Home 9,280,718 4,215,995 5,064,723
2 NEC Adr 4,994,783 18,696 4,976,087

Can someone explain the increase in short interest in the ADR of NEC Corporation (NIPNY)? How can short interest increase by 5M in one month when the average daily volume is 14,000?

It's tough enough to prime the pump when the water table has receded. Perhaps a foreign friendly take over of a Japanese bank (even the ashes of the LT Credit bank) would get the wheels turning again if this new bank would go after small Japanese businesses rather than cronyland. Small business in just about any economy in the world is the fastest creator of jobs and is a much more powerful weapon than pumping in new money to the large companies just to maintain the status quo.

Just look at the economies of the US Germany and Japan over the last five years. US downsizing and the emergence of the new small internet companies compares well with the scelerotic structure of the former world champions - Germany and Japan.
