    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 Reply

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

    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.

    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.

    Earnings Preview: Synaptics [view article]
    Interesting to note that non-GAAP earnings "growth" over the last year was due entirely to share buybacks. profit margin is clearly declining at about the same rate that revs are increasing. would have earned 0.38 this quarter without the share buybacks. dollar value of earnings were $10.7 million as compared to $10 million in the comparable quarter last year. GAAP numbers are much worse, of course. Management is employing a variety of tricks in order to prop the share price up, including the buybacks and the 3/2 split at these share levels. While revs are increasing, competition is no doubt increasing, and companies such as Apple are increasingly employing in-house and cheaper click/touch/scroll wheels in their products. Reply

    Msft must get into some serious bussiness with solar energy.It has the resources of more than 30 countries and could use some of that capital to make a real impact on world use of fossil fuels.As far as getting involved in the internet again:They want to pay all those lawyers and money to the europeans for daring undercut the statis be?The socialist(closet commies)will never agree to Msft competing on their markets.Just see how BA has been treated in comparison to Airbus.I think msft is only thinking how they will get a foothold in china.Forgetaboutit!Ch... isn't worth it and if you got any technology that they can steal they will and not give you squat for it.Goodday.

    MSFT should walk away at this point. YHOO declines in value each passing day and is it really worth the grief to try and integrate such differing cultures especially when their is so much animosity at YHOO.

    MSFT would be much better served by walking away and instead making TWX and offer for AOL instead. That would be a win/win. MSFT gets the foothold it is looking for and Time Warner gets to unload a boat anchor that has been dragging on it's performance and valuation.

    Honestly I don't understand why MSFT does not try to partner with a cable company or make a bid for a satellite company like DISH. There might be antitrust issues but, imagine the impact on say an MSFT, AOL, DISH combination on Google.

    Regardless at this point the bid for YHOO is just a used wipe who's time has come to be flushed.........

    What would be my bets on this? I'm thinking May $25 Put's against YHOO and May $32 calls for MSFT.
