Hi folks. I suggest that any possible short position suffered by the MM is easily made up by the spread between the buy and the ask, and if that doesn't take care of any potential problem (of course you know he works with many different brokers, and can short any one particualar brokers client's holding) he can easily manipulate the shares available by simply adjusting the bid/ask to his needs. Remember, the MM establishes the price. He must consider supply and demand balance to some extent, but he sets the price according to the number of shares he want to hold in inventory. The squease is not shorty the MM, it is shorty the day trader, who creates a shortage by buyinng and creates a surplus by selling. The MM simply takes advantage of the imbalance. "Shorty" was 100% hype prepatory to dumping. Simply a snare set to appeal to the excitable human nature at the thought of hugh, easy profit. Sorry folks, I thing we were simply drawn in in hopes of that hugh easy profit. Just my thoughts. Do your own DD. Thanks. If I am wrong, I stand corrected.
