From Mitch:
here, I speak steve. These fund managers sell stock they don't have, at the current price, say 20 bucks.
New [27-01, 20:15] Mitch they have to be able to back up the fake shares they sell at a certain date. They are betting that on that date the stock will have fallen.
New [27-01, 20:16] Mitch They can buy the stock at the price it fell to, say 15 and they make 5 on each share, even though the stock fell.
New [27-01, 20:19] Mitch a brick and mortar retail store thats dying is a safe bet in their eyes.
New [27-01, 20:21] Mitch If something happens and the stock rises, those managers still have to buy it and take it as a loss.
