My understanding is that Finra numbers are mislead

I have seen company's with 40-50% short volume. Nite used to be heavy short and cover immediately on another stock I used to track. I also used to graph all this stuff to PPS and never found a real correlation. Just my .02.
There could very well be a large short position. There could easily be manipulation to force the price down to accumulate a massive position that they will then run way up to sell off and then perhaps short down. Remember it is all about patience in the end. It is why I tend to focus on market cap.
And why bashers want to focus on dilution.
All that said, this Sony stuff is stupid huge.
