Shorts My understanding of how shorting works is that the shares have to be for sale for another person to use them to open a short position.
not really sure why everyone is putting their shares up for sale at high prices (don't get me wrong we're headed there) - kind of think it's shorts who are just fake newsing others into their schemes.
think about it logically - if this actually worked a bunch of shares would always be for sale but never sell. Instead a short activity is supposed to work as a market mechanism to prevent unjustified appreciation. It get predatory when the technical details are leveraged against the moving average
Pyr volume has had much lower volume BECAUSE. No on is selling and the major fluctuations in the SP have all occurred in the context of lower than average volume if the sp is on a down trend. This is because longs on this stock have grown and we all know holding is the way to go - keep your shares people! Stay long
