I don't know if shorters are more savvy but I think we are the more nimble type. Once the tide turns, we will turn too. I was short and now am long.

On a side note I wonder how Geithner will boast to the public about the govt investment of C when that is trading sub 3.25 in the next month.

Note that they went heavy short into the crash and scaled out afterwards. Their lack of short length is a bullish intermediate-term sign, although the absence of short covering will exacerbate short run declines.

I caught heat on the board for saying go long at 995 in early september. This feels like a final blow off. Good luck all. S&P will close below 1000 this Friday.
