<<, does that lend to more people initiating short positions since they can only occur on the uptick? Am I making any since??? Help... >>> No ,, the only way to create an uptick is to buy on the uptick.. It is possible that you may be buying from a short seller, but on a day like today , a purchase of one board lot on the uptick would likely stymie a short seller who entered his order to late after seeing the price move up..
