A lot can happen in 2 weeks as we know. I have no issue with short selling per se, but the market manipulation that is used by the big boys is evil. We all saw the 100 share block trading as it gets stepped down eventually hitting stops which begets selling. I find this akin to stealing, other see it as good greed. I would like to see short positions in real time for the average retail investor. Possible?

They have the numbers in realtime so why isn't that information released, if not in realtime, then at the end of each trading session? I'd like to know if it's available to big trading houses and brokerage firms.


I also agree with both of you. This ability to program a computer with 100 share lots works really well with stocks that have small floats and trade low volumes. Even on a day when we trade 1M shares, the computer has flipped the same shares numerous times distorting the numbers. 
It certainly looks like the floor traders can access the short position # on a timely basis. Not us however. Should be an even playing field, but big boys with money will always be given the advantage.
