    Short interest for WBC yesterday is still highest among all 4 banks.

    1,418,953 shared sold short.

    The shorts still would not let go of WBC and this is why it does not move up while the others have moved up nicely. Give them another week and they would run low on firepower to hold this down. My broker also indicates that WBC and CBA are highly shortable while ANZ and NAB are not. I think this only means my broker has clients with a lot of WBC and CBA shares to lend to those who want to sell short.

    The shorts cannot hold this down forever. They will soon run out of cash.
