Short interest RECORD HIGHS are usually followed by epic squeezes.Cobra wrote:smart money is huge short. it's a new record. Something is going on.
Commercial Hedgers are different though. These big shorts on Cobra's chart are futures positions held by the big banks, like Goldman Sachs...Al_Dente wrote:Short interest RECORD HIGHS are usually followed by epic squeezes.Cobra wrote:smart money is huge short. it's a new record.

Zerohedge usually posts the total NYSE short interest stats with custom charts, but I don’t find them addressing the si this month.
If anyone has more stats on si, please post.
[FYI: the last time si was at record highs was last October 2011 when shorts were approximately 16-17 billion shares total short on the NYSE.
The monster squeezes of Q4, 2011 immediately followed]
[edit: the record hi previous to that was about 16 billion NYSE shares short, March and April of 2009. We all know what happened then !]
Hey Al, do you interpret a huge increase in short positions as bullish or bearish? Not holding anything against you but I would think large short ratio is actually bullish but when there's a quick increase don't know how I would think of it....Al_Dente wrote:Latest short interest report
Note: NUGT short interest increased by 244%
TZA shorts increased by 54%
etc

Oddball note: it appears they are using boring TIPS, probably as an inflation play (?)...Shorts in TIP decreased by 41%
