RE:What if the Shorts knewVery possible scenario...
Here's my approach
Following the Cheney approach during the first gulf war...
1..there are known knowns
There are a lot of short positions which have to be filled at some time and when they cover it will be coordinated and the SP will go up
2...there are known unknowns
I don't know what Elliot is up to in terms of strategy
3...there are unknown unknowns
Haven't a clue
So based on the known knowns, I will sit on perch not really caring what is going on in the backrooms and if the shorts take the SP down a decent amount and there is a SP reversal on big volume I will jump in and ride the wave and then get out.
