Shorting is now an industry as opposed to an investment option risk, it will never get banned as 'big money' and politicians are all involved. The scale of it, the number of hedge funds now compared to 50 years ago and comparisons with other countries is easily 'googled'.
The bigger question is were shorts taken out before or after certain world events, no that would be an eye opener.
Personally I'm sick of reading articles and reports about the share price being a bonanza, a meteoric rise, the best performer etc, it is just going back to where it should be after the biggest worldwide sting in history. There are many others that should be on their way back quicker too but no one reports on how and why the FTSE has become a penny arcade compared to where it should be, or the fact that it always follows Dow and S&P drops but not always the rises, these two have peaked at record highs twice now since the con.
I recently noticed that myself and not only on BT, it's rife in after hours 'off book' trades. I shall be cynical here and suggest they have found yet another way to cheat the system but stay within the ambiguity of our weak financial legislation oversight. Up until about 5 years ago 90% of the after hours trades were designated buy's or sell's, muddying the waters for us maybe?
Also amazing how often the Dow declines during the afternoon then goes up when the UK market closes.
And look at the off book trades, why record zero transactions? smacks of severe manipulation, PI's hold too many shares for the markets liking, don't let them win.
Along with a few others and not forgetting the obvious abuse of off book trading.
When the market has got rid of enough private investors, remember it's here for the big money and not the plebs.
Underperforming share price is a deliberate ploy to get rid of private investors, us plebs are not supposed to dip in the elites pond. All the more reason to be patient and hold.
