yup...judging from the Rydex ratios, the shorts are so scared by their success that most bailed out quite some time ago. i think of the actual direct short positions in major stocks, much is due to delta hedging of derivatives (options) trades. of course in a rally these shorts do provide ammunition, as they get unwound using the same formula that was used to put them on. very few speculative short positions exist imo. and even the seemingly large short interest in leading NDX stocks is a drop in the bucket compared to daily volume and outstanding floats.

and why would there be many shorts anyway? every indication shows the public as well as the 'experts' espousing unanimous bullishness throughout the denouement thus far.
