Agree that many traders (both long and short) love to put thoughts in people's head. In fact, of late, I realised the shorts are even more inclined to do it for obvious reasons. One way to prevent esp shorts from doing this is to have the shorts disclose all their positions - just like longs have to disclose positions. The SEC should insist that all shorts should disclose the ultimate beneficial owners of these positions - subject the shorts to the same playing field as the longs and let's see if they will shoot of their mouth so easily.
