"who is going to get hurt on the downside?" Nobody who has bought and held long will be hurt by the downside of the squeeze. The people who have stood by their company over time are the ones who deserve to prosper from it's gains and will do so IMO. They have supported it and deserve to reap the awards. Yeah, the last day-trading, money hounds might get stuck at the top of the squeeze, but hey, that's the name of the game. Nobody can win on Wall street without others losing. However, know that there will be just as many momentum following traders who will cash in on upside as those who will lose on the downside. That is the way it works in this game called Wall street; I'm sure that you know and acknowledge this if you have bought/sold stocks with any amount of experience.
As far as the fundementals of this company. IMO, it is certainly worth the price it trades at now, if not more. The bottled water business is expanding rapidly these days due to pollution, etc.. For example, my household goes through 3 cases a week.
What does "who is goint to get hurt on the downside?" mean? Are you asking if day-traders, who get stuck in at 175, are going to get hurt? Should we, who have been in since early-on, be sympathetic to them? In life, people take their own risks and live with them. If you can't except this, then find another place to play. The stock market is a rough playground by the nature of the beast. No man/woman wins without another losing.
