RE:Big Jump in LB todayI think it is just a good old-fashioned short squeeze. The SP is trading below Book and an earnings report is coming up on Aug 29th. The last earnings report for Q1 was pretty good and I suspect the shorts are worried that another good report is coming at them. Add a 6% dividend and the stage is set for anyone who is short.
Does anyone have a read on the current short position for LB?
