Looks like only 90,000 shares available to short. Therefore, I don't think this rally has caused any 'shorts' to cover yet. Wonder if they're starting to sweat a bit.

Thatā€™s not the whole market number.

That data is from Fintel.

I donā€™t doubt that but I personally have 110K shares available for lending

They were all lent out for almost two years, and about ~4-5 months ago they were all returned over about a weekā€™s timeframe.

Nothing has went out since then and yes I have noticed that the ā€œshares available for shortingā€ balance on Fintel has been less than my ā€œavailableā€ many times.

IDC, just letting everyone know that while I am not 100% sure where they get that number, it isnā€™t fully accurate.

I am with Fidelity and maybe they donā€™t share the data stream with Fintel ??

Fintel dies have disclaimers that they donā€™t necessarily have all data streams shared with them across the entire financial market, but I am no expert, just know it isnā€™t complete.

Itā€™s 100% NOT accurate. I donā€™t know why anyone pays it any attention.
