It’s the amount of “air shares” created to execute a bid for the stock at a certain price. Basically, the MM fills your bid with shares they don’t own and anticipate being able to buy them at a later time for less. It’s common as they are required to make a market for the stock. The strategy in a situation like is, is to load all you can and exercise patience, not allowing them to collect the shares they need to cover what they sold and never had. When that happens, they will be forced to move the price up and buy shares higher. A heavily shorted stock will “squeeze” when people stop selling and demand increases as not only retail will be buying, but market makers as well.
