People buy when Brokers mess up on splits. The brokers liquidate the accounts of those who sold what was supposed to be restricted shares to cover those positions. The Naked-short squeeze is a different ball-game, which is illegal and usually MMs manipulate the PPs to keep it down and thus cover when something big is about to happen. Like in NWWV, the brokers had to restrict trading because the activities of covering were unusual. I guess they covered all the illegal shares yesterday and the brokers will lift off the restrictions. Then we can move. Short squeezes don't work unless there is a broker mess-up or a merger in play.
