The reporting of shorts opening and closing is by now just a voluntary decision of the hedge fund who wants to be seen with their short still open, increased or reduced. However, they don't need to show it to us small investors, but can do it by private arrangements directly with the FCA.
The fact that they had their short open from around 0.49% and increase it to just 0.70% over the course of eight months, doesn't really give us any concern. The update of their short positions doesn't need to be done on a daily basis and can as was recommended by the FCA before the new short declarations changes, take up to 2 weeks to come through and be in the public eye as was before. Whilst MS may well want us to see it changing to 0.70%, that increase could had already been applied weeks ago and already made its effect. Don't take what you read as in real time.
