Die Frage ist warum haben die noch 20 Tage Zeit zum Covern?
Sind das Optionen die hier aufgelistet sind? Aktien kann man ja jederzeit covern...

Hohe Short Quote + Hohes Momentum = Potentiall für einen Short Squezze, sprich weiter steigende Kurse

Von der quantitativen Fundamentalen Bewertung ist der Kurs aktuell Fair Bewertet. Daher sollte es hier keinen zusätzlichen Rückenwind für weiter steigende Kurse geben.
Hätte ich den Wert wäre aktuell ein Exit angesagt, bzw. enger Stopp.
