Short interest as of April 15 was 1,505,179 shares. We won't get the May figures until the 25th or 26th.viwes.com To calculate short interest in Nasdaq stocks, NASD member firms are instructed to report to the NASDR TS-Customer Advocacy & Quality Management Department, on a monthly basis, their short positions, for all accounts, in shares, warrants, units, ADRs, and convertible preferreds resulting from short sales. Once the short position reports are received by the Product Deployment and Support Department, the short interest is then compiled for each Nasdaq security. Firms are required to report their short positions as of settlement on the 15th of each month, or the preceding business day if the 15th is not a business day. The reports must be filed by the second business day after the reporting settlement date. The Product Deployment and Support area compiles the short interest data and provides it for publication on the 8th business day after the reporting settlement date. The monthly short interest information does include the adjustment for stock splits. The adjustment to the short interest for stocks that split on or before the reporting settlement date will automatically be reflected in the most current reporting period. However, for stock splits that occur after the settlement date, the adjustment will be reflected in the following reporting period.
