from what i understand the short numbers are not indicative of short positions. MMs short to create a liquid market as usually they don't own shares. MMs make their money off the spread and off volume.
So all this "shortie get burned" blah blah blah is misleading and definitely will scare off new investors. Not to say nobody owns a short position, but those numbers are not the amount of volume of short positions.
