However, we, and the company, do hold the power to force the NSS to cover by driving the pps up.
The only NSS that will still be uncovered will be market makers. Market makers cover their FTDs/NSS by Buying from retail investors who are selling. When investors sell the price goes down. Therefore no short squeeze either. If you try to force the price up, MM's will just continue to NSS selling into the demand. Market makers always trade opposite of the retail investor.
