I think you have misunderstood my point. When the stock price is falling the sellers have the initiative. I think the market-makers usually are neither significantly long or short. But my point was really that as an investor I buy shares from a market-maker whether he is long or short. Because trades between market-makers are also counted the real volume of trading is less than what it seems. I read about these things a few years ago and forget the details.
