Yup, shorts have made the rally more violent than it would have been. I expect that there are quite a few more shorts who think the Nasdaq is heading south again. If when the index pushed above 2250 (and you know I think it will), the shorts will push it much higher in 'short' order I think.

That CLS position has been enormous for nearly a year.

Hi Cush,

Not to stick my nose in Shack's question, but mutual funds have been pretty crappy on the inflows. Cash still seems to be King with retail investors so I would surmise some big money short covering had more than a little to play in the tech rally.

Some of the stocks (ie TSX) that havent bounced I would bet have had little short covering in the last few months.

JMO.
