Rejoice Longs: First Solar Still the Most Shorted Stock in the S&P 500 (FSLR)

Correction: The stock did trade lower than the Nov. 23 prices on both the 29th and 30th.
Trying to do this by memory leaves room for error. [how convenient -ed]
Well bought is still half sold.
Original:
The stock never traded lower than the "buy it now" price.
Well bought is half sold.

I have a history of selling early, First Solar has a history of selling off.
