Shorts Are Getting The Squeeze Already

Shorting the market this year has been a sport reserved for the elites because, to be frank, the tape is up.  That means although there’s a bear market out there, it’s lined with a more traps than an Indiana Jones expedition.

    Ha,ha, I live in one of the most sunny city : ) moved from the most gloomy city. By the way, did you mean “bullish” GMCR or “bearish”, I might took your “Hunting” wrong side. I’ll check CREE myself. Thanks.
