"Doesn't the market deserve to know or would like the ASX to operate like the NSE-ASI whereby insiders load up, news is dropped and retail investors are behind the 8-ball."
???? WTF?... Retail investors ARE ALWAYS behind the 8-ball..... Inside trading IS RIFE!.... Volumes go up HUGELY before a good or bad announcement to the market. AND even before a very good announcement there is a huge lot of selling and the price drops to a level that "THE INFORMED" want to buy back in..... If I was the secretary typing up the letters from the BOD to the markets, I'd be buying or selling (and telling my friends/family) at every opportunity I'd got!....
If you think and seem to be alluding to, that Short selling is a good thing for "BALANCE" in the markets then you must be kidding yourself.... PS...If 91 refers to the year of your birth, then THAT would explain a lot.. IMO
