One important thing that investors may not take into consideration is that many Promoters and Directors of listed companies often lend/loan their Securities to big players and market makers and get a fixed income from them, for eg: 2% per annum. Directors who are bullish and don't want to sell their holding but want to earn a side income, do this commonly.
This also allows more volume, short selling, activity in that stock. They lend the stocks for a 2 or 3 year period. Without short sellers, prices can be rigged and volumes may remain low so less liquidity, hence it's not a bad thing. This is however not disclosed openly so no one knows. So if 10m shares are given by a Director, you will never know and we wonder who is selling so much when there is no disclosure notice as Director is not selling himself, it's loaned to short sellers. So be mindful of this. If public buys all the stocks and holds on, then the short squeeze may eventually push the share price up.
Happy for you to share more if any of you have inside or more info on this. Thanks
