The sad thing is, people really believe that short sellers are anti-American 'Evil Doers'...
After 9/11 we even had some congressman agreeing, and others 'rounding up' names of short sellers on internet chat groups such as this..
In any event- this market is probably being pushed along during these uncertain times by the huge increase in retail short sellers as they stumble over each other.. Once again, short sellers lending support to mr long..
Go ahead- get rid of the shorts.. With all the rah rah- buy buy after 9/11, it was the shorts who kept the market from collapsing.. Who needs shorts..
If your long? shorts are your friend.. period.. if you dont think so- take some time to learn what makes this market move.. its a perfect machine until people start tampering with it...
