when a short position is created in an account? that account doesn't get the shares Megas is issuing. the shares go to the BUYERS who took a long position.
whatever accounts are short will also be getting RSed, so they will not have to buy so many shares to cover. but they are still short.
if the brokers are short? then the cover will probably not happen...
if the MM's are short? the cover will probably not happen...
on the other hand?
some of US have raised so much hell over the past few years that the market is changing as we speak...
hell yes i'm angry too. but trading is better than watching it turn into cheese :)
