As you look at the shares of stock that shot up fast late in the day, we find lots of them with very large short positions. Hmmm, perhaps they are very stinky companines. Yup, change the rules in the middle of the game, you’ll affect the current score. But, the current market participants will start to vanish cause they cannot figure out how to actually win.
If by 'current market participants' you mean: the hedge fund naked short sellers, the Jim Cramer's, and the Gary Weiss's, I'd rather do without them. There is no way an ordinary investor can beat the manipulators gaming the market!
