Just a reminder, we've discussed the FINRA numbers a lot and it's a TOS violation to try to start a food fight. That issue has been discussed a lot and anyone interested can go back to historical posts to see the arguments.
This is just a reminder of one of the major conclusions: as an example, when you see the FINRA number of 88%, that doesn't mean that every one of those positions is open at the end of the day. When some group of bashers (and their multi-identities) want to suppress stock price, they short it, then buy it back at the same or lower level. This generates "volume" and has a dampening effect on stock price at a low cost to the shorts. You could see a FINRA number of 88% but have only a small amount -- or none -- of it being held short overnight.
And it would be very foolish to short and hold -- because there could be big news at any time now.
If people want to argue about the FINRA number, please do it via PM, not on the main board.
