The SqueezeTrigger database of approximately 1 billion short sale
transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact
price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This
data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the
Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it
aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were
forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the
data. Total Short Interest is the number of shares shorted but not yet
covered, and is different from total short volume. To access

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM

WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide
shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling.
SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold
list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE
to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling
problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to
the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and
average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This
information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short
sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.

SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes
and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been
shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly one billion short sale
transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact
price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This
data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the
Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it
aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were
forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the
data.

The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on


over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on
nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows
by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides
investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell
stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price
of each month's short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides
institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors
the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a
short squeeze can begin.
