One of the few ‘sure things’ on the market is for the big money players to snatch up a stock that is being widely shorted. This forces the shorters to cover their position, driving the stock up further. Then big money dumps it.
This can (and is) repeated ad-nauseum as companies spiral down the drain. As long as they have enough blood left to attract the vultures, the vulture-eaters will have plenty to dine on.
