I do not believe how people are taking short positions. Almost all the Moneros from lending markets are now employed.... 
I've been noticing this. I cannot fathom how someone sees this as a value positive risk. If we move up sharply, like we have on three occasions in the last month, it's going to be brutal..stop losses wont save these guys.
Maybe they know something we don't
The shorters really need Aminorex to give markets in case this moves up. If it goes down, they obviously can close their positions and walk away with hefty stack of bitcoins the shorters were able to squeeze from Monero.
