Are you sure? I thought that many of them were hedging, or getting money from derivatives, and might be way short on what they have borrowed.

But, I really don’t understand any of this stuff, so could be wrong

Yes. Also a hedge protects against a drop in price. Most were indeed hedged and protected out for a year or so against this loss.
