Short Squeeze Defined
A situation that occurs when the price of a security increases dramatically, thus pressuring short sellers to cover their short positions in order to avoid greater losses. The covering of short positions serves to raise the price of the security even more, thus increasing the losses of short sellers who have still not covered their short positions.

- Porsche breaks the hedge funds | How Porsche fleeced hedge funds and roiled the world's financial markets | The Economist: In a few tumultuous days it made over $7.5 billion on the share price of Volkswagen -a coup that has roiled the world?s financial markets. Porsche had been steadily increasing its stake in VW which drove up VW?s share prices past the point where it made sense for Porsche to buy the rest. Hedge funds shorted VW. Porsche; however, had been buying options on VW stock. Porsche was in a position to squeeze short-sellers of VW?s shares. On October 26th it revealed that it owned nearly 43% of VW?s shares outright and had derivative contracts on nearly 32% more. It had cornered the market on freely available VW shares. Hedge funds were forced to buy VW shares at any price to cover their positions. Their buying pushed up the price of VW?s shares -at one point reaching more than ?1,005 each on October 28th. Porsche says it only bought derivatives to protect its planned purchases of VW stock. It said it would take actions to free up a portion of stock sending the price down again.
