depends I guess if they took out a short position around the peak, maybe it wont be so bad, how many shares each trader has, are any covered, etc etc, without seeing their books it would be hard to know how much if any pain any trader is in. I dont short, but its just part of the wider market fundamentals so no point complaining about it. The shorters take the risk of suspensions/bankruptcies etc, the same as the long position takes the risk of buying at $1.30 and then the company being in suspension for two years at 78c.
