It's very clear that some of the traders' gangs have changed sides. Just look at the longtime bashers (hiya, rdunn) who have changed sides, not to mention some of the multi-identity names that have either shifted toward claiming bullishness or have been created as pumpers. You don't even have to go to lieHUB to see that.

Just because someone was short at some points in time doesn't mean that they are still short now.

The high-volume days of around 660k and then the 1.2 million day were great opportunities for short covering (thanks , Patrick Cox, who told subscribers to sell at the bottom "at market" and who also says in his newsletter disclaimer that he may front-run, I mean "trade" the stocks he's writing about). I personally believe that there has been tremendous short covering.

Again: just because someone was once short does not mean they will be short forever.
