I think Alan is on to something -- they're trying to hold it down because their carrying costs on the short will kill them if it gets much higher than this.

So I am hopeful that people will decide to start buying near the end of the day. If we close near the highs every day, it may get too expensive for the individual shorts (as opposed to the Mako gang) to keep holding short.

Of course, we've now been informed in several ways, in several different posts, by the scottsmith identities that he/it/they have gone long. First, by their new cheerleading, and now by the attempt to make people think that it's smart to be short and long. Whenever you see that they are trying to get people wrong-footed on a trade, you know that the opposite is going to happen.
