there never were any to begin with...the NAZ short interest ratio was only 1,5% at the May low...that's unprecedented for a major low. usually you get 3-3,5%. imo many shorters simply gave up...or were wiped out in the run-up from last October. if you shorted the fundamentally most suspect stocks, you either had to have a lot of staying power, or you were wiped out if you didn't use stop loss strategies. when the time to short the market came, almost everybody was in fact long...the speculators net long position in NDX futures was at a record high at the March top.
