Mish, your perennial bearishness is clouding your judgment. ReplyStocks with the Highest Short Interest [view article]
sorry for the double post ReplyStocks with the Highest Short Interest [view article]
I have a question. Does anyone know if there is a higher interest rate on the loan for a short sale if the price of the stock goes higher than the price that you sold it at? Thanks ReplyStocks with the Highest Short Interest [view article]

Sorry last sentence should be:The long interest is the float. High short % presumably increases buying interest above normal trading volumes. Reply

Shorted stocks supposedly are borrowed from longs via the longs' brokers and sold. (I say supposedly because naked shorting has become quite the fashion but I will let more sophisticated traders tell us how that works.) The short speculator or arbitrager has cash and owes the long the stock. Should the stock go down, the short purchases it on the open market and returns the stock to the long. The difference is the profit. Should the stock go up, the short must repurchase at a loss and replace. Thus the % of the stock float sold short shows you how much potential pent-up buying exists in a given security. If the shorts are wrong about a stock, their buying tacked on to normal buying can result in excessive movements to the upside.Thus the float is the long interest plus the short covering potential.

Shedlock,Thanks for the insight into some of these financial black holes. Some or all of them may fail in the future - who knows?
The key point is: this type of commentary and information - if you read the links should keep the uniformed investor (most of the commentators on this story) from bottom fishing in these dangerous waters.
If the poster here this this is all bull ... then fine. Buy these little gems now! See what happens.
The FED may come and bail you out and destroy the dollar in the process. However, the sensible thing might be is to let some of them fail. Corporate recklessness like this should not be rewarded with bailouts.
