The current short percentages verses those of a few months ago on the ones you cited would be substantial.


I did some quick eyeballing on the data and I generally see 30-50% on those stocks during their run-ups, flat periods, and down cycles. I took the liberty of plotting out ANET in November 2017.

ANET November 2017 $197-$242 Green almost every day during the period

20171101 ANET 179149 351 296270 Q 60%
20171102 ANET 466901 1625 1107366 Q 42%
20171103 ANET 267166 1855 988253 Q 27%
20171106 ANET 86081 0 311809 Q 28.%
20171107 ANET 122118 300 435267 Q 28.%
20171108 ANET 61834 0 364206 Q 17%
20171109 ANET 126713 437 307942 Q 41%
20171110 ANET 92427 205 297130 Q 31%
20171113 ANET 119022 476 253868 Q 47%
20171114 ANET 74355 32 180376 Q 41%
20171115 ANET 78078 94 174827 Q 45%
20171116 ANET 87562 80 278088 Q 31%
20171117 ANET 74376 87 199752 Q 37%
20171120 ANET 150663 766 259187 Q 58.%
20171121 ANET 162174 500 314161 Q 52%
20171122 ANET 56572 12 182898 Q 31%
20171124 ANET 23976 0 104220 Q 23%
20171127 ANET 55998 330 135767 Q 41%
20171128 ANET 65768 0 147769 Q 45%
20171129 ANET 133899 431 419992 Q 32%
20171130 ANET 84184 0 204952 Q 41%

Similar numbers are seeen on the slide REGEN had in late April/ early May 2018:

REGN April 26 2018 to May 9 2018 $323-$284 red almost every day.

20180426 REGN 54603 0 192678 Q 28.%
20180427 REGN 200024 11 721816 Q 28.%
20180430 REGN 128694 54 422189 Q 30%
20180501 REGN 112647 106 270707 Q 42%
20180502 REGN 97496 10 314437 Q 31%
20180503 REGN 164419 18 426574 Q 39%
20180504 REGN 117398 271 295831 Q 40%
20180507 REGN 92709 10 230325 Q 40%
20180508 REGN 79538 120 194983 Q 41%
20180509 REGN 102004 2 193894 Q 53%
20180510 REGN 59346 100 176384 Q 34%

In both cases with polar opposite stock performance we see the 30-50% range almost every day. I just can't seem to find a case where FINRA short volume has any correlation with price or short interest. Also, these are both very healthy/wealthy companies. Obviously they are not targets that could be bankrupted by shorts. ANET saw a couple days during the run at or near 60%. Everyone here seems to see the value in IPIX short volume but I just can't make any thing from it.
