ShortingI am not knowledgeable enought to know the exact effect shorting is having on NFG. I do know that the human brain is not comfortable with random events. It always wants to see patterns where no pattern exists. As Keynes said " The stock market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." Are all those seeing the stock price malaise being fooled by random events? Einstein didn't beleive in random events. He thought there were factors that the human brain had no knowledge of. Seeing a short seller behind every down move of NFG may help with the dissonance between the reality of the stock price and our perception of what it should be, but is that the cause or it just chaos? Nobody likes chaos!
