ItsAValueTrap Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 A bunch of hedge funds could transfer their shares to cash margins, which means that their shares can't be loaned out. This could cause a really insane squeeze. It's not just the price moving against you that can cause a squeeze.... Ackman's broker will gleefully liquidate if there are forced buy-ins. (The broker can front-run Ackman's trades for a profit too. Technically illegal, but Goldman did it to Copper River alleges somebody who used to work for Copper River.)
