Everywhere I look the talking heads say they have covered their shorts and are out into cash or gold now. Seems to be the meme in vogue is the risk/reward of shorting isn't there anymore.

Seems to be the meme in vogue is the risk/reward of shorting isn't there anymore. Isn't that the perfect setup for an horror sell off? Risk/reward is such a thing... Once we are at 1500, going short at 2500 would have been a great idea. I always did find the r/r concept in trading at least "doubtable". For example, if a stock like Tesla goes from 200 to 900 within a few weeks, it could have gone to 1500 too, or 3800 or even 5000. Even at 400 it was far away from any serious valuation, it was just guess work where the high would be. That means that also the level were you go short - and where your short doesn't get stopped out! - is nothing else but guess work. I know that stuff from trading fx intraday for years. It is most of the time made up stuff from bla bla guys. They tell you "good opportunity, 4:1 r/r", most of the time they got stopped out, but of course didn't talk about that in the sftermath.

Seems to be the meme in vogue is the risk/reward of shorting isn't there anymore. This is why the risk of an accelerated collapse is growing. The shorts are the only source of even temporary buying. If the short interest has fallen through the floor, prices could drop 90% from here. Remember the 1929-33 bear market sheared away 90% of the market's value at the high. They had 90% margin then, and today's big players also have used that kind of margin. So I think that we could have a 1929 situation here. Maybe even worse.
