RAFF is a market maker. Think of them as a store... they need inventory to sell to the public and they will make a market in the stock. They accumulate stock at a low price for inventory and when people want to sell, they sell that stock.

Their goal is to make a profit off of every buy and sell.
Sometimes their books may be either long the stock or short the stock.

When they are "net" short the stock, they will attempt to make the stock go down so they can buy it back at a lower price creating a profit.
