Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi 5i, read an interesting blurb in G&M stating that 26.8% of ACs float is short, and possibly due to all the debentures issued. My question is what is your opinion of this, and how long could this overhang last around the neck of ACs share price? Also do you still like it as a reopening trade and are there better candidates without this shadow of shorts?

Thx.
