Shorters licking their wounds, page-4

In a few days we will get a better idea of whether the price rise is because of the shorters ending their campaign, the price is rising because the shorters decided to end their campaign, or the shorters were forced to get out because the share price was rising beyond their ability to control.

What does my head in is that there is a period of sustained shorting in the lead up to the Quarterly, presumably in anticipation of a poor result. When the quarterly does come out, it is indeed a poor result, a shocker really, and the share price immediately recovers strongly!
