Over the last 20 trading days, excluding today, the average shorts as a % of volume was 17% with a range of 2.97% to a whopping 54.5 % on November 24th, clearly the shorters are wrecking havoc IMO.

Happy to accept that, can you share your data source?

Interesting thanks, so it's exactly the same number as I quoted (for yesterday), at 0.06% of issued capital shorted and 432,591 shares. Hardly surprising, as I got the info from ASX. Obviously the short positions move around a lot each day, I'm not convinced they're a major factor in the decline per se, but happy to accept they are a factor.

Plenty of profit on the table right now and not surprising some will be taking that off the table. In any event, the charts are helpful to inform whether buying the down trend is a smart move or perhaps waiting for a low to kick in.

May be this has caused the drop.

Ha ha .....Mr Beagle owns shares in a company to be run by a high flying Jetstar exec.

Without prejudice I’d say she is a good choice.

Hmmm...mixed feelings on this one, not the one related Geoff leaving but the new appointee to the role.

Thought Peter Nathan would've been natural fit into this role as he has so much insight into the business with his current role. May be they need him in the more important role of looking after Asia Pacific and China operations.

A Jetstar boss for 5 years, I'm not feeling very inspired by the appointment.
