Squeezing the Shorts: The implication was of vulnerability. I believe that the short-sellers can be forced to cover quickly in any powerful rally because: * they tend to have a shorter-term orientation than the average "long" investor. * many of them employ leverage and "stops" which require closing out their positions if the Market goes against them. I don't short stocks or the Market because my variable annuity doesn't allow it. If I could have, I would have used a vehicle like Rydex Ursa or Rydex Arktos last year a couple of times, but without leverage. I'm OK, you're OK.
