Not sure if anyone is following Tootsie Roll but it is in the top 8 for shorts on the NYSE. Been steadily moving up over the last week. Did a google check and it is in the top 20 tickers mentioned over the last 24 hours. Looks like 94% of the shares out are held by insiders meaning for the shorts to cover they need to buy the covers from the very small number of public shares out there. With the low volume on daily trades this one looks very dangerous to me if you were short. Super stable dividend company that has been around over 120 years. Any reason to think this one will not run when the shorts have to cover?
