    Not much at all to dislike. Even traders are having a lot of fun on CBA. Not just on the TA. There is massive demand for CBA from shorts. Check this out...

    Shorts on CBA are stuck between a rock and a hard place. On the surface 1.09% shorts may not look like much. Dig a little deeper and there is 18.2m shares that need to bought to close the collective short position.

    To top it off there is only around 105k of available shares for sale in the open market at any given time. That is a ratio of 173:1.

    Even if we get generous here and say all buys (1.4m shares daily) are from shorts closing positions. That is still a ratio of 13:1.

    13 trading days worth of demand from shorts just to close...
