voc holders will be ok in 12 months, page-12

I would love to see the shorts get squeezed hard - and there are many daily predictions that this is just about to happen - but it never seems to eventuate. What gets me is who on earth loans the shares to the shorters in the expectation of getting the share back in a month's time or so, but worth a whole lot less. I just don't "get it" - why would anyone loan the share out (not just for the small fee surely) knowing it will be worth less. I am now wary of any share in the top 20 of shorted stocks.
