short selling of jbm increasing

Hi guys,

I only discovered this webpage not long ago,

http://www.asx.com.au/data/shortsell.txt

But have been following it closely(regarding JBM) over the last few days.

Short sale positions in JBM as at the end of day 20-Jan-2005 is 412,839 shares.

That is an increase of 200,000 shares from 19-Jan.

If we look at the chart & check volume for that day we can see that over 20% of the shares sold on Thursday 20-Jan were in actual fact only borrowed shares.


It will be interesting to see if any shares were shorted on Friday & if so, how many?

Cheers.
