    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.     Reply

    This is the type of information we need more of and I would also like to see stocks with the highest long interest in the last 30 days.

    Any idea why AIG wasn't in earnings before the opening for today, Thursday, August 7th? It was big news and the stock moved dramatically downward. Is there a rule as to which stocks you mention?
    Thank you for an excellent site.

    Ambac is the puzzlement to me. After years of boom, it is logical to expect creativity and greed to dominate Wall Street (firms as well as the millions of investors). Fannie and Freddie had to serve stockholders, and were pushed by Congress to be more lax. The ratings agencies exist to measure the risk, but they are paid by the people that they are rating. The place where you would expect caution and skepticism would be the bond insurers. What were they thinking? Reply

    Greedy crooks in Banks and Broker firms wrapped subprime, alt-a, ARMS, credit cards, bad loans, etc. into structured finance vehicles i.e.: CDO-ABS-MBS-SIVs, they misled the market and bond insurers into these fraud and now everyone is paying the price! now the misleds have to clear up their books from that toxic waste! One strategy will be to SELL CDS on toxic wastefull junk at 'attractive prices' to buttom feeders this way they will get capital and delever from derivative liabilities on toxic waste. Reply

    Can you recommend some reading material so I can better wrap my head around the whole "shorting" and "naked shorting" concepts?
