<more if you're also right about shorts buying from shorts, although I question that hypothesis, since if many of the shorts are covering, why would others find entering short positions attractive now?> Jess shorts are the opposite of longs. As a stock drops, longs buy in. If the stock continues to drop a weak long who just bought in may bail and the buyer is a new long. Same thing happens with shorts but in the opposite way. There is a possibility that short interest may even have increased in the last few days. More upside from new buyer demand may cause a RMBS type capitulation. P.S. I pick my spots with options and use them to leverage a position. No doubt I thought market had AWRE wrong. Just got lucky with the timing.
