I agree. Just look at the market overall, the constant whack-a-mole by the shorts, spreading rumors and shorting and causing volatility spikes and massive sell offs followed by sharp covering rallies in the S&P have caused many firm managers and financial professionals to take a step back and sit mostly in cash, not actively investing because of all of the fear and psychological issues they have come to live with, fearing constantly that there is no floor under the market and it can tank on at any time on any news out of Europe, like what the German Chancellor had for breakfast. This is exactly what the shorts want in the long run. What happens is the fear freezes the money managers and retail gets their money completely out of the market and so the volume dries up and it leads to thinly traded equities and no buyers, which leads to high volatility and mostly just algorithmic day trading. I think many have allowed the end of the world fear mongers to drive investors into a constant state of panic and anxiety to the point where no one wants to invest capital for more than a day or two. Everyone is looking for "plays", not investments, which leads to range-bound trading in the markets. This also leads to these phony trading correlations like risk on risk off, dollar up, euro down, commodities down, gold down, equities down, bonds up, VIX up, etc etc. If there were a greater number of free thinking decision making agents working to make money in the market each day with longer time horizons there would be a much healthier market, not to mention if NSS was banned and the uptick rule was re-instated, along with zero capital gains tax and more enforcement of illegal market mechanics. We have all become zombies marching to the tune of the criminal bashing shorts out there, mostly foreign firms working with foreign governments in what is the new age of warfare; info wars and attacks on our economy and financial system. They have taken the American dream out to the woodshed, burned and hanged it on a bridge for all to see in order to instill fear, chaos and weakness. For those who want to analyze the phenomenon in detail, just learn about everything that happened with Bear Sterns and all the other firms that collapsed during the financial crisis in 2009.
