yesterdays shortsell report, page-8

Agreed sumayo, the more shorts open the more likely a covering rally will occur, but sometimes I wish they would not bother shorting at all, as it increases volatility and can play havoc with honest mum's and dad's who may get spooked and sell out prematurely on a short selling retrace. they didn't ban this practice for no reason during the GFC. They did it to prevent the scumbag predators from benefiting from the amount of fear in the market.
