HJOE - Classic "Short Squeeze" !

Short Positions - What if ?

* How a "Short Squeeze" happens !


HJOE had been trading at 0.0002 x 0.0003,
for 25-days,
then climbed to 0.0004 on Friday, May 8th,
and then climbed to 0.001 on Monday, May 11, 2015



Some Traders Sold HJOE stock Short at 0.001

But, instead of the price going down,
it climbed to 0.0025 on Tuesday May 12th,
and appeared to be going higher.


Now those Short Traders were in trouble.

They needed to cover their positions to limit their losses.

They decided to buy HJOE shares as soon as possible
-- they and everybody else who shorted the stock.


This generated tremendous buying pressure on the stock,
and the short sellers rushing to cover their positions
only escalated the price increase
.


Short squeezes
occur more often in small-cap stocks with small floats,
but they can occur with any stock.
