JL, I don't have an answer for you. What I was stating is what I thought I heard Barinyi say. Maybe I should word it differently: Of the total short interest out there more than 51% of the total is held by private investors like you and me, and this is an indicator of a bottom.. I guess kind of like a twisted form of capitulation... Maybe a lot of shorts are fixing to get trapped and be forced to cover at higher prices....A giant short squeeze?
