There is not a lot of content in your post to work with, but APM and short squeeze never had anything in common. APM's short interest was nearly constant during the rise and crash in the early part of the year. The short interest mainly built up after the crash to the 20's, due in part because they missed the technology leap.

Not if they nudge the buying, thus causing a short squeeze. Check out the chart of APM from Nov 96 to Nov 97.

Vinik played with APM and I heard that he has gotten into YHOO. True, if the shorts are shaken sufficiently, the manipulator does not have to spend a lot and can profit.
