But, in the meantime while the stock goes up, and as volatility goes up, the hedge funds need to hold more cash in their accounts to allow the short position. And with interest rates at zero, that cash position is effectively a money-loser. So the longer the stock price stays elevated, or worse: goes up, the harder it is for the hedge funds to hold. Its a question of who has diamond hands. 🍿
