  • No Relationship Between Shorting and Stock Prices [View article]
    The author and all commenters are confusing cause and effect. They have not been determined. Did increased short selling cause higher volatility or occur because of it? No one has answered this question and no one will, definitively, because there is no experimental control. We have no identical parallel market where short selling was not allowed to compare to.

    We all have our opinions, and mine disagree with most of the commenters. But that is what we are talking about - opinions. Nothing more.

    Your article is weak because you do not show your data and allow readers to see the details of you calculations. I find nothing fundamentally wrong in your conclusions based on what you have published, but the amount of detail necessary for considered review is missing.
