Frequently asked CTGG short volume questions

What is the daily CTGG short volume?
As of Aug 28, 2026, Qwest Corp. 6.5% Sr Nts 01/09/2051 Usd25 (CTGG) short volume is 1.2K shares against 4.2K total reported volume, or 28.74% short-side. Short volume measures shares sold short during the day; it is flow, not inventory.
How is CTGG short volume reported?
FINRA publishes the Daily Short Sale Volume File for trades reported to FINRA TRFs and the FINRA/Nasdaq ADF on a T+1 basis. The headline figure is the count of shares that printed at the short-sale or short-exempt tick across all reporting venues for the symbol; each exchange separately publishes its own daily short-sale data file.
What does CTGG short volume tell options traders?
Daily short-sale flow is one input that helps disambiguate dealer-hedging activity from directional bear flow when the chain shows fresh customer call inventory. It is not a clean MM-only proxy: the headline number mixes directional shorting, options-MM delta-hedging, ETF-creation arbitrage, and convertible-arb hedging. Cross-check against gamma-exposure and OI changes for a cleaner read.
