Fark, are you alright there keefy? Going to do yourself a mischief....
Give yourself a break...
Nearly 3 percent (so 75% of the total) of those shorts came on at asx 200 entry.... call it hedging, call it speculative by shorters that love stocks that have possibly been overbought on asx200 entry...
Either way, stop whimpering like they all just came on because the situation became dicey (or more that you've use up all your patience)...
