Interesting play, I like it...some HEAVY short interest:

Percent of Float 30.63%
Days to Cover 4.2815 Days

Now, considering where this stock is....why the hell all the short interest? This stock is at BOTTOM. I think us "up" traders can make some green just off the shorters having to cover....and SOON. All it would take is a run up and the shorts will panic sending the PPS even higher.

Another interesting fact:

Held By Institutions (MRQ) 95.00%

As most companies right now:

Quote:

NCS is one of the most highly leveraged companies in the Construction Services industry and has a Debt to Total Capital ratio of 105.30%. Additionally, the percentage of debt used in its capital structure grew this year. The company could face trouble servicing its debt as both its Interest Coverage and Quick ratios show that neither operating profits nor current assets alone are great enough to satisfy interest obligations.

**BadThad** · #6 06-26-2009, 04:14 PM

4.33mil shares, +364% compared to
typical daily volume over the past 6 months.

I think the short inc/dec (10%) is the change from the previous trading day.....that's a HUGE chunk....short interest was 40%. With the rise we saw today in the PPS, there could be more panic next week. The chart is looking RIPE to me. It's below the 20 and 50 EMA and a MACD bull cross-over looks to be forming on the 3-month.

Upper resistance at 3.47 and 4.01, I think it could break the first resistance, and if the shorts get moving, 4.01 might be easy.

OK, lets get the squeeze on....I bought some shares.
