Message: [QUOTE="Fat tire 13, post: 3706160, member: 6171"] Yeah, everything you said is correct. Shorts get squeezed all the time because buying naturally pushes up the price. Anyone can see a stock that is heavily shorted and start to buy it. Or it goes low enough people want to buy. Shorting isn't easy. You have to pay to borrow a stock, among other things. You are "swimming against the tide" in many ways. The difference here is the Reddit people were very public/vocal about buying solely for the purpose of squeezing the shorts. When people say there is manipulation, that is what they are talking about. My opinion is the legal aspect of this is much more of a grey area, and the Reddit people have many valid reasons to defend themselves [/QUOTE]
