Let me illustrate with an example:
If the total trading for the day was 5 million shares, and shortvolume.com said 60% was sell-to open, that means 3mill shares were newly shorted. Even if shorts covered during all the remaining trading for the day, thats only 40% (or 2mill shares). That leaves a net increase of 1mill shares to the total short position and we weren't seeing that. What we were seeing was the short position staying roughly constant while they sold-to-open more than 50% of the day's trading pretty much every day. What am I missing?

Papafox,
One of the FUD fighters on twitter sent me this video on market Manipulations. I’m wondering if you would be kind enough to watch it and give your opinion as to whether this is really how things work?
I have also posted this on the “Elon Needs Our Help” thread. If you think it’s worthwhile I could also post it on the general market discussion thread.

This is illegal (market manipulation) but it is in fact possible. It's usually only possible on low volume though.I mean, if you could trade with yourself and still move the SP then... what stops them from defining the price at whatever they want?
What I want to know is, would there be any reason for trading to be halted in the event of a massive drop or rise in TSLA?
Yes, I have watched the video and although I often disagree with Cramer, I think he's honest and speaking from experience. Also, Curt Renz was a television commentator on business issues for quite some time and he has posted the video many times to illustrate how the market can be manipulated in the short term. The good news? No manipulations are going to keep a good company down over the long run. This is why I'm a leap and shares investor. I don't like exposing my money to the uncertainties of short-term manipulations.Papafox,

PS: Thanks for defending Tesla against the FUDsters. I know many TMC members who are active in countering the FUD, but you probably won't recognize them because they typically use identifiers other than their TMC identifiers for this kind of work.
you were right bud! despite downturn in nasdaq $TSLA holding up well. if we close this month and quarter strong that would only enhance the case for further price appreciation starting next weekView attachment 312693
Nice climb into close in after-hours trading. That's a good clue TSLA opens in the green tomorrow.
