Form SH Daily Volume Compared to Exchange Reported Short Volume<br />

November 2008 - February 2009<br />

This chart provides a detailed measure of the amount of short-selling activity captured through Form SH. For each reported security, on each of 80 days<br />

between 11/3/08 and<br />

2/27/09, we calculate the total volume of short selling on Form SH and the total volume of short selling based on data provided by NYSE, FINRA, and NASDAQ. An "observation"<br />

in this chart reflects the volume of short selling for a particular security, on a particular day. The chart indicates that for 12,250 observations, there was<br />

no short selling reported<br />

by either the exchanges or by Form SH filers. For 77,395 observations, there was no volume reported by Form SH filers, but there was some short activity<br />

reported by the<br />

exchanges. On the far right side of the chart, there were 1,276 observations where Form SH filers reported short volume was between 95% and 100% of the exchange reported<br />

short volume. Finally, there were 19,174 observations where Form SH reported short volume exceeded the short volume reported by the exchanges.<br />
