No I do understand that. And I’m suggesting that is a bad thing.

It’s also illegal, which seems to have been left out of all the conversations.

“ The rush by short sellers to cover produces additional upward pressure on the price of the stock, which then can cause an even greater squeeze. Although some short squeezes may occur naturally in the market, a scheme to manipulate the price or availability of stock in order to cause a short squeeze is illegal.”
