Our data shows 16.7% short. We tend to ignore anything below 5%, and at 10% we like to understand the short thesis. 16.7% is quite high but in and of itself does not mean much. The stock is up 586% in a year so shorts have clearly been crushed. It is very cheap on an earnings basis but growing fast. It does have a lot of debt so shorts may look to cover on an equity issue one day. It is a small company, and with the short interest we would expect heightened volatility, certainly. Recent results were good and guidance was affirmed. So fundamentally it looks OK and is still priced well.
