I’m not entirely sure what “neutralized” means but short interest in BOFI has not changed substantially in the past 10 months (unless something happened within the past few weeks). Most recent short interest (7/29/2016):
Let’s see what the short interest is on 8/15/2016. BOFI reported earnings on 8/2/2016 so the latest data point does not include the run up after earnings to this point.
Sincerely,
Charlie
