Can you tell me why would they short the stock hard first then flood it with shares after its heading down?
Im sure these funds dont mind being questioned on what they are doing.
They are playing with our money and are therefore accountable.
Dont you find it a real conflict of intrest where you go into one section for financial advice and they recommend
which shares to put you money in and then you can go next door to another section whos job is to use funds to short the same shares you have just bought.
Greedy people (which is all of us) should be barred from shorting.
