Total number of shares of a stock? Short squeeze?

Posted by: jtempkin on Nov 26, 15:37

Is there a fixed amount of shares of a stock on the exchange? I was wondering if short traders have to cover from other long holders causing a short squeeze or do they get to cover from the website meaning no significant upward stock pressure?

Thanks

No fixed amount of shares, and shorts are covered from HSX, not other traders. {nm} Paul2k Nov 26, 15:49

no fixed amount of shares, however similarly to real life, those that hold shares short and see that stock is moving in the wrong direction EuroFund Nov 26, 18:22

Funny you should ask....the parent of HSX, Cantor Fitzgerald, attempted to launch a real money version of HSX where trades could not go Buy StarBondFund (Buy EURO) Nov 26, 20:47

I was thinking about Cantor last week when Hugo and Arthur were trading so high, how much real $ I could have made {nm} islander Nov 27, 05:01

fwiw, there are no adjust on the Cantor Futures Exchange, so those two films could hit those highs. {nm} Antibody Nov 28, 12:01
