BTE short is very risky..... Shorts are smarter then to risk getting caught on a deal.....once the stock is halted they are stuck with the consequences.....Certainly the majority of shorts have already made a bundle, it would take 3-4 days for the shorts to entirely cover but to be forced to cover your short after a halt is a total game changer and would wipe out all their profits....Definitely better places to invest money then to continue holding BTE short IMO.....
So many game changers for oil in the immediate future IMO......
ie: Middle East falling apart, US export deals, reduced US production, Saudi/Opec announce counter measures to support oil and provide more normal price, China economy picks up, US economy picks up after wage growth.....To many others to mention probably.....
Good Luck BTE holders......$5 not far away IMO.....Hopefully no takeover unless $20+
