<<Really??? You don't believe that all the short shares are naked shorts do you? They trade both long and short and on some days are almost all the volume.>>

Some of the supply and some of the demand is obviously natural buyers and sellers. But a lot of the volume is supplied by dealers that generally carry no or little inventory and so they may short to a buyer and then cover from a seller.

Thanks for answering my question. I appreciate your perspective on this.
