Your post is interesting and thought provoking. It raises one question. Why do you suggest that the market makers have taken a short positon. What reason would they have to take a short postion over a long postion. In fact, if you were a market maker, why not take NO postion, just buy and sell as the market dictates and make your money on the spread, period.

In fact, is that what a market maker is supposed to be doing. Is taking a postion, long or short, a way to make extra money for them?

I wish they acted impartial and let the market drive the price higher or lower.

Can anyone who acts as a market maker respond.

When you talk about Market Makers, are you talking about the designated market makers who underwrite a stock, or are you talking about private investors with enough clout to move the stock??
