Ain't no stinking shorts in AAPL ("wouldn't that be nice")

Sure and as a percent of the float tell me more:

" Investors decreased their short positions in some of the most popular shorts in the past month, but technology companies remain the most shorted stocks among those traded on Nasdaq.

Dell Computer Corp. was the most popular short, as of May 14, with more than 55.3 million short positions, while Intel Corp., with 41.6 million shorts, and Microsoft Corp., with 28.8 million shorts, placed
second and third, respectively, according to just-released data from Nasdaq. "

Badges you say , oh that's a different story ! We got stinking badges we just don't tell you about them .

AAPL can't even be given credit for being a popular short like INTC and MSFT . A dubious honor and one hopefully in AAPL's past .


The data is published as of the 14th minus 3 days - wonder when most secretive activity occurrs ?

This is when you know that your company gets no respect:

From CBS MarketWatch:
"Other stocks in the sector fell. Data General (DGN: news, msgs) shares lost 5/16 to 12 1/2 and Iomega (IOM: news, msgs) stock slipped 3/16 to 4 1/2., while Apple (AAPL: news, msgs) shares rose 2 9/16 to 44 1/16."

Yep, Iomega and Apple. Two birds of a feather. Not.
