So what do these portfolio managers do with their WMB when WCG goes through a short squeeze? It seems inevitable that since WCG has such a small float, that multiple squeezes should occur. It seems unlikely that WMB will respond as quickly as WCG will when this occurs. If they add to their short on a quick pop on WCG, will they recoup those losses by buying a slower responding WMB that may not reach an equivalent high? Unfortunately, USAI has only 65% of TMCS (ticketmaster) so you really can't use that as an example. And from what I recall on those two, they seemed hardly coupled at all. Call me pig headed, but I think it is worth averaging down just to take small profit increments on any squeeze that comes along. Regards Scott
