This might be helpful to see the retail sentiment from Fridays volume.
Or it might not, but at least we can see what fellow forum members did, without being named.

damnit, i thought maybe there was a shareholder surprise and they bought us all some shares distributed to the shareholders of record on friday..
There are birds tweeting about saying it was nothing more than the Russel rebalance shares. Im hoping to discredit that with at least some research. Even rich investors have a fear/greed cycle, so you never know.Quote:

A combination of shorts covering and russel rebalance?
No. Still not enough shares. 150 Russel, 160 Open short interest(that count does include any lent shares short too). More buying than that even.:DQuote:

550 million shares traded, including the russel shares. About 200 million that must have went long, or a new short simply closed into a new one. But thats seems silly to me. But it is possible. Like, im done shorting sirius, you want to now. Ok, here. Ill get these shares back at .30, no worries. With the information we have, that isnt impossible. But that would be the worst case scenario. More than likely, it was a new long position, and 200 million shares from retailers went bye bye.Quote:

Less than one and 1/2 minute later at 4:00pm eastern time, the total daily volume was right at 260 million shares.
In the blink of an eye...
I thinking paniced longs, and stop losses could equal a high amount of that volume on Friday.Quote:
