If I was part of the short and distort team I would be feeling very anxious right now. They had to add to their short positions to push the price down and are not gaining any "real" selling volume. At what point do the smart ones bail? No honor amongst thieves applies here, the smart ones are going to use this most recent attack to lessen thier short burden, at the expense of the ignorant followers who think the volume created is real. In one day they could be easily paying quadruple(or more) and since they are loading at these levels in, hopes of real volume to cover, they aren't even going to make a profit off thier original short positions.... this actually pretty funny to watch. There is a larger entity on the outside collecting shares and when this starts to run you can bet there will be a huge competition for shares and these piddly shorts aren't going to get the preferential treatment from the market manipulators!
