Question is, at what point do shorts have to cover. Im not really familiar with shorting because its not a part of the market that I really deal with. Could a short have bought this stock 5 months ago in the 20's and just rode it all the way down to this point? If thats the case, then whats the incentive for a short to cover at these levels when they have so much room to still have a profit. I guess im just trying to understand how the short position would work for this company. Thanks in advance.
