The following list is quoted from the NYSE's short interest list.
I got them according to 2 rules
 (1) The short position of the stock is greater than 1,000,000 shares.
 (2) The days to cover is greater than 7.
I created this list in last December.  When I updated the list this month,
I found that most of stocks have higher closing price than ones in Dec.
Hence, It motivates me to study whether the higher short interest squeezes
the price or not.  I will welcome your comment.
All prices are quoted from WSJ dated on 01/25/93.
