People short stocks because they believe the price will go down. So telling people “52% of today’s volume was short sales” doesn’t attract new investors, unless they are shorts.

“A high short-interest stock should be approached with extreme caution but not necessarily avoided at all cost.”

I always read here that the MMs are colluded with the shorts. So who do you think the daily # provided by the MMs will help? The shorts of course.
