[QUOTE]Originally posted by blue_in_MI: [QB] anyone check out the new short interest reporting link on otcbb.com yet? http://otcbb.com/asp/OTCE_Short_Interest.asp i plugged a few stocks in, was curious: GFCI: in their PR today, they complained about "naked shorting". short interest as reported by this new link: 107,141; about $17K. NDOL: lots of talking amongst the longs about how the "shorters will get toasted when they have to cover, yada yada yada. short interest reported on this tool: 57,124 shares, $10K range. NMKT: verges loves to complain about naked shorting driving NMKT down. short interest reported on this tool: 82,508 shares, $30k-ish. could plug quite a few in, these were just the first that came to mind. one caveat is that i guess this is only the total amount of shares short this month, not cumulative. one could argue that the total number of shares shorted could be much much bigger than just this initial july listing number. my initial reaction? pretty small numbers: pretty much coincide with my general feeling that "naked shorting" is too often used as a crutch/excuse for one making poor investment decisions. it's always easier to blame the faceless "naked shorters" than oneself. but - i'm a pro/con kind of guy, and i know that some highly respected posters here are strong believers in the whole naked shorting thing. i admit also i just ran across this and haven't researched it much. anyone with any opinions or thoughts about this? anyone plug in a stock and find some surprisingly big or small short interest numbers? anyone want to argue that this is a valid reflection of the true short count, or vice-versa that it's a bogus number designed to keep the small investor in the dark while the big money is made behind the scenes? like i said - i have a mild predisposition against the whole "naked short" thing, because i see it used so often as a crutch to support poor stock choices. i've even seen RVNM/RVMN/RVEM posts bashing the "naked shorters"! i also admit that i think it's time to run for the hills if a CEO of a company you own starts talking about naked shorts publicly, rather than focusing on his or her own business. but - i'm open to and curious for discussion, and always try to see both sides of the coin. anyone have any thoughts on this new reporting regulation/otcbb link?
