First there is a 4 day delay in number. So we do not even know what change in total shorts was the day of your first post. Shorts are heavily used by day traders so daily volume which is current is often very misleading. I would expect someone that post as much as you do about shorts to get this. Record total volume to day =, 1M shares, wait 4 days and see change. Do this for a few days and learn something.
That is the market. Learn about it or lose money. Remember SS can only loan shares for shorting they hold. If lots of shorts they have to buy more to loan. Net effect is Zero. This is a typical effort by another supposed buyer to tell half the story to explain why the stock has fallen for 9 straight Market days. Thursday close before Q release 7.09 Close last night 6.32 down 11 % in 9 trading days without a single up day and a large increase in volume. You need to do more research to casually explain that fall right after a Q release. That many with Buy Sentiments said was a good report. Also remember shorters do not short stocks to drive them down. Just like buyers they short to make money. If shorts are up why do these people think they can make money on down side? I have asked this many times no one answers. Probably because they are blinded by their optimism. Average volume 3.249M shares. This has risen in last 9 market days. about 150K shares.
Here is a table of change and volume since close day before Q report. Pay attention to volume and change size.
