Take today’s numbers:
FINRA short sales of NTEK
20200520|NTEK|80476|0|98141|O
82 % of today’s volume was short sales
So the total volume the MM’s showed today was 98,141 shares and of that volume they naked short sold 80,476 shares or 82% so besides the purchase of 75,p00 an additional 5,476 shares were purchased that the MM’s did not have so they naked short sold them. Hope that makes things clearer for you. Go NTEK!!!
