RE:RE:RE:BBD.B held upCub, in no way am I suggesting it is an even playing field. It ABSOLUTELY is not. But I know that, and still choose to be here, so why note or complain about the obvious? It's akin to walking into a really dirty dumpy dive bar, and then chiding the bar for not being better than it is. Hey, if you walk in and take up a table, you get exactly what you know and exactly what you see. No surprises.
Now, if you were just noting the obvious, the equivalent of saying "wow, this place really is a dump", then ok. That's not complaining.

I play in their playing field even though they have the ability to naked short and I don't with other various rules and differences....but maybe you do ...if so good for you !
You can only come to your conclusion if the rules and regulations along with enforcements are the same for all..and you know they are not
You should take the time to read the Macmillan report of 2019 which is totally relevant today since nothing has changed.
It is not complaing that I do not agree with you 100% your interpretation of the buying and selling of house one and your, what I consider.you narrow interpretation of it.
You might disagree that and belive that everyone is on the same playing field but I have a more realistic view of it.
Calling it complaining is totally out of whack because I have learnt to play on both fields and while there are not white and black hats alone,,there are certainly many hues in between those two.
But like I said before, I play in both fields and adapt as needed. but becasue I tell it like I see it is not complaining.
I did not want to belabour the issue as mentioned earlier but your narrow interpretation of my posting is the reason for this response.

The market is a collection of all efforts to make that money. Longs. Shorts. Traders. Institutions. All buyers and sellers working from their own perspective in their own time frame. All have an equal right to be here, and an equal right to do their best at whatever they do. It is not a club, and you choose to be here of your own volition. You would know the market is the dirtiest sandbox on the planet. But don't come here and then complain in any waythat it is, in fact, exactly what you already knew it was. If you choose to enter, freely, complaining in any capacity then is only annoying.

Volatility was incredible with the major player being house1 in trades .
Shorti trading for quick profit has become mainstream more now than ever.
1- between sept 1 and 15 1.27 million shares were shorted as shown on the short trade summary report equalling 23% of the volume for that period.
2- During this period the short position shows only an increase of 25.9 thousand shares
The retail community is at the mercy of the pimps of baystreet that know exactly how to handle their retail johns..a very appropriate analogy IMO.
