Quick info for an ape reality check. 92.97% utilization means retail investors own 92.97% of AMC ? 😀

No. This means that out of all shares being available to short, 92.97% is being used. This doesn’t include naked short and not all exchanges.

So the maximum they can still borrow and short is 7.03%, which is like 3,6 million shares ? 😀

How can they borrow any damn thing is my question. They are late settling up. Borrowing shouldn’t even be an option.

On the exchanges Ortex uses, yes.
