I'm trying to find the answer to this but am having trouble without a subscription to some finance product. I'm also just bad with finding things in general.
I'm curious about the highest short interest ratio for each megacap company. We all know which ones they are, but in particular I'm looking for $AMZN.
The reason is that Amazon's stock suffered a 90% drawdown during the dotcom crash, precisely when its business was beginning to really take off.
I'm curious as to what the short interest rates were because I see a lot of parallels today, only at a far greater scale, with really overvalued tech companies dragging down incredibly undervalued ones. The dotcom bubble was unprecedented, with companies that never should have even gone public raking in billions. Today, only a select handful of companies are in that position, while even the most overvalued companies are still bringing in billions in revenue–during dotcom, most companies weren't bringing in a dime.
So I'm curious as to the short interest ratios between now and then, and also the highest ever at any point for companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, and even Meta.
