RE:TD and Anonymous
Unfortunately the short sellers have infected the whole market. I talked to a trader once hwo said it is a free market. Yes the shorts are free to borrow our shares and sell them short for a profit. That means "We buy, we hold and they sell what they do not own and effectively reduce the value of our holding without owning anything. When we signed our agreement with our broker their must be an obscure clause that allows them to use our shares to steal our money. As long as the uptick rule is not in force they have the ability to short at will. Another company I own has the same problem as TLT. There is always a wall of shorts stopping the SP from rising., The problem is getting worse in my view.
