It never sold at $2. I tried to cover my shorts and the lowest price
was
2.88
I bought some extra because i suspected a short squeeze, but this is
just plain nuts. Made large on the short position but did not expect
to
make it both ways, lol.
These huge over reactions to stocks and indexes on short covering
rallies are what happens in bear markets, too depressed one day and
despondent the next. Everyone is a fast money trader, because no
one wants to be an investor.

I keep hearing investors want it to go bankrupt as that is better
value.
What is gonna happen to this miracle rally when bsc goes the bankr
route? And i keep hearing the same rumors about LEH having a run
on the bank.
Who invested in GCOG?
1/3 of bear shares held by now former employees, that is who got
screwed.

How does a broker make money on margin calls???
What do you mean when you say "buying peoples shares before they had a
chance to recover alil"??? Brokers SELL the stock if margin calls are not
met........
What a great country this is, when a guy with no knowledge of credit
or margin, with no concept of finance or procedure can be one of the
largest shareholders of GCOG.
After a margin call, the borker sells at market, they earn the commish
and market forces dictate the rest. BSC NEVER traded at $2, closest
it came was $2.88 and that was only for a fifteen minute period.
Todays market has the following fundamentals which cause this stuff,
too many shorts chasing too few ops & covering way quick before
they get their own margin calls.
IMHO there is no or little $$$ left on the short side of anything, you
need
to study, watch and play the eventual short squeeze, just like the
mar-
ket overall.
Mark to market means sell at market.
As BSC learned, margin can be deadly, as short sellers learned
yesterday. Borkers bork.

Let's say you get a margin call on GOOG($440/sh)......you say your broker
can buy it at $88??? (20c on the dollar)
I'd suggest you shop around for a new broker....SOON!!!!
