Reading Between the Lines Maybe, If you had a lot of wealthy clients short BB from lower levels and saw things changing for the better, would you say to these people. "cover"...............No, no, no...........but, .how about saying....'well, sales were somewhat higher than expected""....now if the client doesn't that clue into that message and cover , the house can always say......"well, sorry, we told you sales were better than expected...I guess you should have covered...it's unfortunate, but blah, blah, blah..." a CYA, as it were.
