personally i think they are getting deep into no man's land now .. and honestly this is just based on what daily reg sho showed for april .. and of course what came to pass in the closing minutes of friday's market
and the gamble they face right now is *pressure* down on monday so some sell is countered by folks like myself who plan to add more ..
i originally thought <a couple of months ago> that the catalyst would be the co. uplisting .. that would imo absolutely force a run to cover <when this happens MC is incidental> .. now i'm wondering if it may be a JV <partnership> with WM or in kind
imo next week may well make the whiplash pps gyrations we've seen the last weeks seem tame .. truly hard to say without seeing what they show for volume and then for me what the trades show on the tape
if friday is an indication we have one hell of a week coming up
again just my opinion .. btw monday we get the MM MONTHLY data out of finra for the month of april .. curious to see if the merry trio still hold the top 3 positions .. really curious as to what ASCM & CHDN *reported* to finra
I'm no expert, but I know that nobody's pockets are infinitely deep, and that most people dislike losing money. Being short when the prices is rising and expectations are positive is a fast way to lose serious money - if the price just keeps going up your potential loss is infinite. If JBII continues to rise anyone who is short the stock will at some point (probably different for every individual) be compelled to cover.
I'm not positive of this but I assume that if shorted through a broker, the broker would have a rule that required the borrow to be covered at some percentage of loss.
you can stay short as long as your broker is happy with your margin or your exemptions as a bona fide market maker are valid for the exchange of listing.
The one thing sure to end shorting is success. No one stays short a dividend-issueing company with a reasonable price to dividends ratio :)
