Not sure any shorters got smoked today Alex. Just the opposite I reckon.

Shorting for PLA was only 324 678 shares, 0.6% of PLA capital and finishing on 8.8c after opening at 9.8c I reckon chances are all of them won today.

The only people who got smoked today were the punters who believed the hype, went long the stock and held on.

Today was a great day for shorters. Wish I were one of them but not my area of expertise.
