visionthing, RE: It seems as if, with the scenario that you created (such a small float available)--We may look for this in the future, maybe even several more times.

Doubtful. Even with the small float + large institutional interest of RMBS, a true short squeeze (and its unwinding yesterday and today) is a rare thing. have shorted many a 'tight' stock over the years, and have never had stock called in.

Remember, though, that I'm just guessing as to the action today. I have not made the checks to various stock loan departments, as I would do if I was contemplating taking a position in RMBS today.

Tell
me this, in theory, we should also start attracting additional short
interest from here. <<

That's exactly what I was thinking. The published short interest numbers may already be understated.
