As the price of the stock you shorted moves higher, you will be

forced to exit your short position by buying back the stock. Once

the Street recognizes that there are a lot of short positions in a given

stock, traders might buy the stock in an attempt to drive up the

price. When the shorts start covering their positions, the upward

momentum can be tremendous. A frightened short seller will pay

almost any price to get out of a stock. In most cases, a rally started

by short covering will not last very long. This is the first short

squeeze. Get ready to be squeezed again by a danger little known to

short sellers called the second squeeze.
