Hector Android - Yes, good point. It gets even worse on a larger scale when Billions are at stake and the shorts can drum up a limitless supply of rumors and intereference against the target company so as to begin a downward direction in the target stock. Just look at what happened to Bear Stearns and Lehman. When the crony participants have holes in the stock market regulations they can use to practically infinitely naked short sell target stocks, and there is no uptick rule, they can literally hammer stocks down and "cellar box" them and then simply illegally hold back the short interest figures from FINRA and wait. Eventually all of the failure to delivers pile up but they never have to cover because the regulators never investigate or enforce RegSHO. It's the wild west and the DTC holds all the cards and lets the bank robbers run wild through the streets, as long as they get their cut ... wink wink
I suspect the S&P will probably get pumped up to about 1500 this year at some point, maybe a small correction first, but then it should be ripe for a major short play on all of the indices. SPY and QQQ weekly puts I should think is a good way to play the downside.
