Actually I think it has been a negative sum game. Stocks get bid up and bid up and bid up on real buying. Short interest is say 20%. Bad news comes out and stock gaps down 30%. Now those 20% got that 30% and the the other 70% went to money heaven. Of course it is the reverse perhaps in a bull market. But from 2000 on I think it has been an immensely negative sum game. Am I missing something or is my logic more or less correct? M
