Just my opinion...but if you hold too long during a squeeze, you will lose out. The typical short squeeze runs up really fast, peaks, and then falls back very very quickly. Problem is, nobody knows just where the top is, so they graduate their sells into the run. If you try to catch it after it falls, you are too late. There is no science that i know of to predict the magnitude of the squeeze...on a true MOASS, they can go very very high.
When everyone actually IS out to get you, being paranoid is just smart thinking.
