Eddie,

>>How can you tell when Market Makers go short?<<

I can't and I don't subscribe to the conspiracy theory b/c these guys aren't that bright, if you knew their daily routine you'd laugh your arse off.

I can tell you that MM's will short stock when they are out of shares... they need to increase supply to provide liquidity or are simply building a position for a client as it appears is happening here. Kimberly made that call last week.

The example I laid out previously is hilarious to me, mom & pop hit the ask at market with 100 share lots moving the price up, selling ensues in 1000-2500 share lots but the price goes higher... it's the MM's protecting their turf against joe publics relentless 100 share market orders. The higher the price goes the less likely the masses chase... watch for this pattern, you'll see it time and time again, trust me on that.
