I humbly disagree. What you saw today from 12 (when Joe Kernan mentioned it), to 34 (which is where it traded after 4:00) was the nastiest short squeeze I have ever seen. Some people were short, I know one of them. I don't know how he shorted it, and I don't know where, and I don't know how many shares. I know he lost a fortune. After hours, before it was halted, the bid was around 33 and the ask was 50. That's right, 50 bucks. That was a short squeeze. That was the short squeeze.
