    How long after taking on a short position do they have before they must buy/settle?

      There is no time limit, as long they keep answering margin calls (adding more funds to meet the margin requirement). Of course, the losses on a short position are potentially limit less.

      If they are shorting with options then the length of time is governed by the expiry date. They can keep rolling the losing options over, to effectively extend the expiry date, which is another mug's game (Scooty is an expert on this).

      Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

        Long GME, NOK and physical silver.

          Why Nokia and silver?

              I am all in on AMC. We like the stock!!

              GME too high to take a punt. They are predicting a rise to 2k today.

                Read this. Bloomberg (the hedge fund poster boy) is "concerned" buying NOK with destroy the telecoms industry

                But shorting the **** out of it is fine?

                      Look at the interest charged on the stock.

                      IBorrowDesk

                      That interest rate forces the shooters to cover their positions. Notice how it has been so volatile as the stock price went up?



                      Now check out AMC
                      IBorrowDesk

                      Notice how it has jumped up. AMC squeeze will start in 2 weeks and the GME scenario will play out again.
