Thanks to all for the informative posts. I have learned a lot from the posts. This article talks about how tough the last two years have been on shorts. For me a very interesting point made is when a stock's sp is heading up and retail investors are placing buy orders on the way up, then the only ones willing to sell to them are the short traders.
