Short positionIt will be very interesting to see where the short position stands in the next update. It stood at just below 300,000 shares as of March 31. A large position would generally provide natural downside support. One should be aware, however, that the numbers, when released, will be dated. I would assume many positions would have been closed given the surprisingly strong earnings from the U.S. financials. I would certainly not be pressing my luck here if I were short.
