What I don't get is...why didn't they close out their short when GME started picking up momentum, say when it ran up to $50+? I thought all these HFs closely tracked WSB sentiment?

 

Anyone have any perspective on how quants are doing right now? For the sake of my industry hoping most short positions got closed when borrowing costs got too high to justify trades.

Sorry, aside from those two. I meant WS firms, like how Loeb & Icahn went long HLF after Ackman's short presentation. Volume seems to suggest some big players on the long side. Guess we'll find out when more performance numbers start leaking
