Recipe for disaster
In the last month the short open interest in CPN (Calpine) has climbed from approx 70M to 89M shares.The total amount of shares is only 305M. All the shares shorted in the last month would have been sold under $12.00 The price of CPN is presently about $14.60 Any thoughts stock traders?

Re: Recipe for disaster
Hi Dr. Bill, CPN On the monthly chart this topped out in 3/01. Both the weekly and daily charts offer no encouragement to me. In addition volume is off as well, and it looks overbought. The upturn on the daily is normal off a new low. Can't see it higher than the 16.50 area before it turns down to confirm the low. A weekly close above 17.50 would be needed for me to reverse. I have no interest here. steveb
