Hi FJ.
Their time will come for sure.
Note however it is most likely that a good proportion of those shorts as reported on April 15th, would have taken the opportunity to cover in the 25% SP short infested drop last week.
But even 1M - 1.5M shorts will cause a delicious pop in the stock should they get caught with their pants down on significant news.
Enjoy the preamble games .... they will not last much longer.
All the best,
ST
