I can't speak for the other short positions, but I have anaked short on GXS and am currently in a net loss potision. No intention tocover any time soon and very comfortable with my position. I will be shortingmore but will wait for the head to come off this one a little first. At thispoint I am operating under the assumption that this property will not be a minein my lifetime.
My guess would be that the short position is made up ofindependant investors such as myself and a couple of long short resource fundsthat will have sold GXS short and sed the proceeds to buy into a moreestablished coal miner such as Grande Cache or Fording.
