CG - not if the alternative is the Market Makers simply hiking up the price so that they can walk it down later and scare people.
The point about selling into buying strength is that it can avoid the MMs running their own big short positions, as you have given them the liquidity they need to balance their books.
This trading is 90 degrees out of phase with the most obvious 'sell at the top buy at the bottom' strategy, and is not as personally enriching, but it does reduce volatility so that people can concentrate on the company fundamentals and not get freaked out by the daily SP movements.
