Although I expect vicious spasms, feints, dives and seizures to punctuate price action for the next few weeks, I was not prepared for quite so powerful a short squeeze as is occurring tonight. It is equivalent so far to about 450 Dow points — presumably sufficient to pin bears badly on the ropes when stocks open Tuesday morning. A day of violent price swings would appear to be unavoidable.
