<<shares that are shorted are bought by someone so you have two buyers for one seller who hasn't bought back yet and returned the shorted shares>>
I look at it this way. Let's say that an institution buys 10,000 shares of YHOO and takes receipt of the stock. If the float is shorted to the max, then an additional 10,000 shares are bought back. In essence, 20,000 shares are bought.
<<My point is, anyone looking for a major squeeze of this stock will be disappointed>>
I don't want a short squeeze either, and I'm not disappointed.
Hao ba, hao ba.
