    Netflix (NFLX) roars to a 12% gain as the dreamy week for investors roars on. That makes for a 79% YTD return for a company that made just $8M in profits during its last quarter while Apple raked in a cool $13B to fall 12%. Money manager Ivanhoff capital sums up the action: "Expectations matter."

  • Over 60% in just 2 days after a 70%+ rally in the 3 months prior to that?

    This is got to be the definition of insanity. I'm assuming that this is short covering (and momentum funds driving the stock up to induce short covering).

    Does anyone know where I can get up-to-date information on the short-interest in this stock?

  • nasdaq.com gives the short interest only biweekly. I don't think you can get the info freely from anywhere else faster than nasdaq.com.

    If I am wrong, please somebody correct me here!

  • Good question. Yahoo Finance (Key Statistics) shows short interest as of December 31st (24.3%), but I too would like to see an up-to-date reporting of short interest.

  • I guess it makes sense that excessive liquidity everywhere around the world would create massive short squeezes in every corner of the market. The race is on to find the last few un-pumped POS stocks left out there with decent short interest.
