RE:RE:Very few sellers of TLT stock Shorters know that at some point soon they have to cover their shorts....as they always have to. You can't keep renting the stock for ever for nothing. It costs money to short the stock or are you just figuring this out now. As the volume declines, we are going to see how price discovery unfolds as we get closer and closer to new positive trial data being released. Higher priced asks mean that the shorters will have to pay higher and higher prices just cover their outstanding shorts as they all stampede to the exits at the same time. Or you can just pay more in fees to rent the stock and still watch the price going higher and higher along with your losses . Shorting no longer works as a strategy once we have hit a price low and we are there now. It ain't going lower unless someone sells more borrowed stock and that's a very risky mugs game at this point.
