You are posting the legal short interest for IPIX.
Post# of 72440
The daily short volume may contain some legally borrowed shares however the majority of the reported short sales are naked shorted volume. Market makers are allowed to temporarily naked short to make a market, the key word being temporarily. The naked shorting is being done mostly from offshore by hedge funds, investment banks and the like. Those doing it are selling shares without ever borrowing them in the hopes they will never have to and the companies being shorted will fold.
It is my contention that all the real shares are long gone and being held tightly by investors waiting for successful trial results which will allow us to begin following the plan of our model REGN.
It is also my contention that the FINRA short volume I report daily is close to being the total of the real volume. ( Few if any longs are selling and even if they did it is likely that what they sold would be marked short )
I think it is important for investors (new and old) to understand why the stock is performing the way it has. It has performed the way it has in large part due to being under attack by short sellers. To hide that from investors new or old would imho be tantamount to hiding poor trial results.
IPIX investors are fortunate to have great potential with its science and prudent savvy management that understands what is going on and is fighting back. Go IPIX!!!
