RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Home Capital Group Price Target Raised to C$42.00You seem to project your emotions on me because you know deep inside that I am right and your CAPS to make it clear won't change facts in your favor. Facts are facts. So let's talk math and logic : Short sellers borrow shares that they don't own based on the assumption that when prices will go down (with their help of course by selling 100 shares at a time at lower and lower prices) many shareholders will get scared and start dumping the stock at which point they can start buying them back and returning them back to their brokers. In mathematics we know that reality and modelled reality are two different things and assumptions tend to simplify reality to make it easier to understand and model thus ignoring variables or interactions between variables that might be key to explain significant deficiencies in the model. Such deficiencies could be the possibility that existing shareholders are all in the know and refuse to sell and decide to hold out and corner the shorts. Theoritically if Home capital decides to go private as an example shorts will be forced to cover and if the last man standing has 1 share or more and categorically refuses to sell the marginal value of that share is theoritically very high. When you talk about the percentage of shares sold short compared to the float you imply that it is secure and that you have a wide margin of safety but if you are honest with yourself and with the principles of mathematics you would know that is a false sense of safety because mathematically it doesn't matter if the shorts sellers can't find the shares at their desired price because if all the shareholders were in the know and decided to not sell the short sellers model would collapse.
