Just speculation on my part but I would guess there is both professional and amateur shorting. The professional strategy would be the following: 1. Find a volatile stock (like Radica) and play it. 2. Time short points when stock is going ga ga. 3. Cover during correction taking approx 20% gain and then get out of the way, letting stock run up. 4. Repeat step 2. My guess is the pro shorts are playing the volatility and making $, attracting amateur shorts who are losing their shirts. All imo, Gary
