I had some spare time, so I created a spread sheet that overlays the closing price over the shorts reported for that day. I think it spots the obvious. Can't recall who it was on this thread, but they said people should keep some money in reserve. I think that's a really good strategy. If retail holders understand the market better and are better prepared, then these events wouldn't be as harsh. Having money to buy more when shorts are high puts more pressure on the shorters. They have unlimited risk so would be watching quite closely.

I agree that they should be exposed. I just think it will fall on deaf ears.

Orange is close price and blue is short quantities. You can see where they took cover between the 7th and 14th. I should overlay announcements, MS/MaQ reports, and state street movements. I think the most recent surge between 22nd and 23rd December will cause a bit of a squeeze if we start getting some positive news announcements.
