No...you may be quoting daily shorts. Cumulative shorts for AGO are 12.71% v 4.81% for BCI (as at last Thursday 29/10).
Also one of AGO's more valuable and often overlooked assets is their port facility. I would like to know who the shorters are and whether there is another motive behind the shorting.
