>shorts buy either to limit their losses, because of margin problems, or as their stocks are called in. This is what is called a short squeeze.

Michael,

Can you explain to me the relationship between a short squeeze, and shorts getting their borrowed stocks called in. I don't understand the circumstances in which a short position would be called in - and especially as it may or may not relate to a short squeeze.

Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ice
