Hi all
Been in 4DS since way way back so am enjoying this current run
Some discussion on other 4DS threads got me interested in the concept of 4DS being shorted - which seems crazy to me as you would stand to be bankrupted by the classic short death scenario i.e. Share goes into Trading Halt, company announces takeover offer at a massive premium, bidding war ensues, never comes out of halt
I note some of the posters here share holdings in two other stocks I track short activity for (PNV, NMT).
Over time, I've been trying to develop an understanding of how shorters operate and the effect they can have on share prices.
So, given 4DS is a very different "model", I decided today to start tracking it for a while. All in the learning.
The table below shows where they currently stand in terms of data.
I had to do a double take for todays aggregate data - never seen it before where the report is "missing' the stock. My assumption is that all shorts were closed the day before!!! Often when a lot of new shorts are added (Column C), its countered by buying back stock to close positions (Column H). From the data, this appears to be what happened. All open shorts were closed on Wednesday! (Not surprising really).
Will update daily until its no longer of interest ...
Here's that ASIC Aggregate data which is "missing" 4DS - which I assume means - reported as zero.
