And we must look at the context between the increase of short interest and the development of the holding of the institutional.
The short interest increased in the last year from about 7% of the outstanding shares to 12% of the outstanding shares.
The instituional holdings increased in the last year near 30% of the oustanding shares to 83,7% of today?
And therefore we have a gap of selling. Who had sold the 25% from this gap to institutionals like Fidelity, who are now the greatest owner with about 12% of the outstanding shares?
Nevertheless was this 25% of outstanding shares coming alone from privates - I believe the smaller part. I believe between 15% and 20% comes from naked shorting - most not legal. And I can't understand the SEC, that they don't take any control and is breaking the existing rules.

Why is BIG SHORT and his gang so nervous? (Not rated) 26-May-07 07:19 pm I believe, when you read the postings of abominable, you see at once, how nervous are BIG SHORT and his gang is.
The reaons is clear: There is a gigantic gap.
Who had sold the between 25% and 30% of outstanding shares to the institutionals, who increased their positions about 25%-30% last year?
The shortselling-positions increased to a new high, but they increased only from 7% to 12% of the outstanding shares.
The question is: Who sold the difference of about 25% of outstanding shares to the institutionals like Fidelity?
It is clear, when we look at very low percentage of the private every day or month by Thomson Financial, that they could not have sold this amount. And as a result the answer is clear: The gap is most naked shorting, which is not part of the numbers about legal shortselling of 4.8 million
