On a more serious note, a semantic question re "Short Squeeze". I've heard this term used two ways: 1) One or more heavy long positions in a stock move their shares from margin to cash accounts, causing a wave of borrowed certs to be yanked out of the short accounts. If insufficient borrowable certs are available to replace them, the shorts are forced to sell; as they are flushed out, the stock runs up. 2) Market makers, promoters and/or touts collude or ride a wave of PR to cause a stock to spike up. The shorts panic and sell, or are flushed by margin calls. By taking the logical to extremes, every time a stock goes up, some laptop larry calls it a "short squeeze". Would you care to comment about this topic? What you can see on Level II and Level III vs what can be found out on other researchable sources? What's a real "short squeeze" as used on this board? TIA, Alan
