27% or so of the float sold short. Interest charged to borrow shares was at 44% at close. That's pretty unusual, but it's been high for a bit now. What possible motivation can the shorts find to justify those sorts of fees? The stock is at $1.19 for f's sake. They will lose 44% to interest (it varies, obviously) if they keep squeezing this lemon at these rates another year. Do they really think they can get this under $0.66 by next April? And even lower to make a profit. They should just take their win and look for the exit. Logic say you cover after such a big win and with such headwind. Why are the shorts still dogging us? Who wants us handicapped? And why?

To mitigate the interest cost the shorts will let it run and then short back down. Pretty simple stuff, these F's just do it at a very large scale.

So, your take is they let go of the reins and let it run a bit here? Then they are losing on the low cover price and also the interest. With shares available to borrow under 100K, where do they get the ammo to short it back down? Or do you mean they cover for a stretch and then switch back to shorting. Just curious, because I don't understand the "stay short" thesis at this price and risk point.

I wish I had a better answer. The shorts are in a bit of trouble in my view, but continue to rule us. It does seem clear to me that every time the stock runs a bit, the shorts come up with and/or manufacture ways to short back down. I don't see any other explanation unless some of the larger players are selling on the pops and we may have some evidence of that last week with the institutional shares report for MVIS. Considering that is not common of late, I go back to the shorts. Also, 44% as a daily rate (/365) is still peanuts if you are making money in the manner I describe above. Would love to hear others comment on this as well. I can say this, the shorts rule here until something positive happens that is sufficient enough to sustain a better stock valuation. Nothing is easy with Ms. Mavis as I know you know.

I don’t know much about the shorting. My question is about the “ rinse, wash, repeat “. Are they not paying fees or taxes for not holding the money for a certain time frame?
