Another piece of the of the "dirty games" that could come into play is the value of the Canadian dollar. These short's have option's that they can/have done use in their effort's to cover the short's. Might the bad guy's try to trip the downtrend line to get the hedgies to do their dity work for them? Just a thought and to bring to the attention of the Canadian's here, that they may want to hedge their currency risk. Not sure if you can use the FXC in an RRSP, but it's worth finding out, imo.

Thought's, anyone?
