In 2020, 57% of all securities shorted lost money. Sixty-eight percent of every dollar bet lost money.
Given the beating short sellers have been taking, it's not surprising that the dollar value of stocks shorted compared to the dollar value of theShorts are not a big part of the market That may seem like a small amount of money, but short sellers play a very important role. They are instrumental in calling out companies that may have questionable accounting, as was the case with Luckin Coffee and Wirecard last year.Their most important function may be as liquidity providers. They provide liquidity for the equity market, and they provide liquidity for derivatives traders who take the other side of options trades.
If call option prices do indeed rise, Tchir warns, that could generate false signals to the market. "If call option prices go up, that could force theup, and traders may mistakenly believe there is fear building up. It may not be the time to be bearish, but it certainly may be the time to avoid highly volatile stocks that are chatroom favorites."

BobPisani BobPisani it's laissez-faire (within legal bounds of course) in Wall Street, this is a must. If a hedge fund gets annihilated by the free market, you have to blame the hedge fund for their foolishness, not anyone else.
