potential for short covering here

  1. 6,609 Posts.
    Coal seems to be recovering in the US and with Australians whacking taxes on anything that moves and anything that doesn't offshore coal looks good.

    I have traded this for awhile not holding too long as I was weary of the shorts which built up from 400k in Nov 2011 to over 13 million today.

    Clearly they perceive a funding problem and resultant CR at a lower price. Maybe, but if coal keeps getting stronger there is the potential here for a major short covering rally IMO.

    How do you cover 13 million shorts when the sell side volume is only 600k? Sure, some will be hedged but not all.

    Any thoughts?
