Triplex, with all the stock splits= 5 years ago stock was worth $300,000, 3 years ago, $35,000 1 year ago $663, who made money, the shorts or the longs?
It's very simple GMAN, it all depends on what you bought it for and what you sold it for. In the long term case with YRCW and the share price falling over time, the short sellers generally would have done well. On a day to day basis it could have easily gone the other way as it did this week when the share price went up 40% from one day to the next. Timing is everything as they say.
PS - Is that pretty funny too??
