How can it work when some stocks and people, are still allowed to short their brains out with impunity. The 2 examples you used are a prime example – these 2 ETF’s still can be shorted and have been gangshorted up the ying-yang. The XLF especially! Hey, all true negative shorts needed to do was keep shorting the XLF like crazy while buying puts on anything else they wanted. Individual stocks? We don’t need no stincken’ individual stocks!
We really have really given ourselves a big headache and the tail is truly waging the dog.
