IG I wonder how many of those shorts are boxed positions. I know a pretty good number of folks who are boxed.

For the past couple years I have been playing peek a boo with much of my stock portfolio. If I expect a rally I close some of the short position. I reopen the short when stocks reach minimal target. I close the long position when any run seems to have been exhausted. Generally, however, I am boxed. That isn't the grounds for a squeeze. I seldom find the need to react to a move that I didn't anticipate as going with the flow is a flirt with disaster and keeping shares boxed leaves the position neutral.

My point is that boxed positions aren't going to be high grade fuel for bear market rallies...the numbers can be deceiving.
