Whoohooo, agree.

MMs always short to make a market. It's their job.

And they trade for their own accounts.

And the prop shops trade for their own accounts through the MM's.

A short is a short regardless of who originates it, and it exerts downward pressure on a stock.

It's no wonder the shorts concentrate on running a stock down. It's a lot easier - and profitable - than to wait around for news and filings like us retail fools who are expecting a fair valuation. And when news hits, it's drool time for the shorts.

While news events occur on only 22% of the days in our sample, we find that short positions initiated on these days account for over 45% of the total profitability from short selling.
