This is a wild industry. Perhaps better not played by amateurs like me. Thanks to those posters who provided info on inside market dynamics; I have learned a lot this week. I'm not sure how much that will help me, though, as the more I learn, the more I find I don't know, can't know and couldn't react to even if I did. Fortunately I am too naive to use margin, and just wise enough not to play with my milk money. Good luck to all,

Erik

Good input on Russell 2000. Glad someone may have to buy these shares. Most shorts seemingly bought shares to cover at very profitable levels for them. I had always believed a short squeeze ran a stock up, not down, and I still don't believe in conspiracy theories. Many posters caught the idea that they were buy shares cheap, and no one said they were shorting or bailing out. Who were those phantom sellers?, there were a lot of them. Where were those 3.8 million share cancelled buyers who thought the stock was a good value at $39, didn't any of them believe it was even slightly better value near $25?

I was unaware of that situation. That sounds quite interesting. Thanks for the post.

Based on the past year of trading, CKFR is worth somewhere between $5 and $70....I might be willing to play a bounce around $20...anybody here think it will drift that low on the current downdraft ????

Thanks,

Jimbo.
