So really, if a lot of people short a stock, it suggests that, eventually, the stock will have to rally back just as hard because the people who 'sold' it will have to 'buy' it back again later, versus the normal selling from an investor who has no obligation to re-buy, unlike a shorter, who has to re-buy. Sounds like a good buying opportunity to me when a lot of people go short, suppose like most things on the market, it's all about timing, but it seems at the end of the month/quarter it seems a good time to buy into a stock that has been shorted heavily, or to short something that has been over-bought.

Could be a good strategy to make a quick buck. Thanks for the answer Wayne.
