How Does a Short Squeeze Work?

You'd Better Find Out... It Happened on May 17.

Baseball season is passing the quarter poll, and we sprint toward the All-Star Game. 

We can get back to America’s favorite dictionary of baseball terms that make absolutely no sense and sound like they were invented by an eight-year-old.

Can of corn… A routine fly ball that a player can stand under to catch, like the player is catching a can of corn off the top shelf of a supermarket. 

Moon shot… A long, high home run.

Snowman… When a team scores 8 runs in an inning (because the 8 on the scoreboard looks like a snowman).

And what about Squeeze play… When a batter bunts the ball while a runner from third base breaks for home plate while the pitch is being thrown. 

These are a few examples…

We know that the latter term exists in the financial markets, right?  

As investors and traders, squeeze plays offer a great way to make money. Looking for a short squeeze example?
