The short interest for MAY 2007 is out and the oil and energy patch names is fairly mixed. The Oil Service HOLDRs (OIH) showed a 13.3% rise in the short interest with the April reading of 16.76 million shares going up to a new 19.0 million shares in May. As you can see out of the liquid and actively traded US-based (most anyway), the list is actually pretty mixed for the month. Fighting rising energy prices is just hard to do after a while.
