>What we are talking about is the imbalance of 20 some milion short covering in a very rapid fashion thus throwing a huge inbalance into the daily buy/sell stream. This ultimatly would cause the price to rocked as we look for equilibrium.<

"a huge imbalance" is putting it nicely - those 20million shares can not be bought without 20million sells to fill them - shorts must cover at some point - price becomes irrelvant - buy now or pay even more later is the devil's choice that fuels the squeeze - this does not even take into consideration the carnage momentum traders can cause if they decide to pile onto a devloping squeeze - does anyone really think that the mometum types are not watching this closely - especially after the wsj article on io short numbers - how much down side profit can be considered to be left in this stock versus the potential for upside disaster for shorts
