Andrew, a squeeze and a call for return of borrowed shares are very different things. The return calls are very rare and even when made are often not executed, I ignore them.

A squeeze is when the price goes up and shorts without adequate reserves are forced to cover at a loss thus forcing the price up even more. I carry adequate reserves so that all of my short positions could double without my being forced to cover.

But anytime a short position is going against you, you should re-evaluate on a daily basis, the market may be giving you a message or it may be that the stock is just responding to hype.
