Looks like they are always fully short right at the bottom. Amazing. Could it be that they
sell short to bring the market down while profiting in options or futures.

I don't know that specialists are now what they once were. Spreads are much narrower and it's nowhere near the "gentleman's club" is once was. Mark

specialists and members got bullish in the first week or so of jan. then they went heavy short. they were positioning to take advantage of the liquidation of the Soc Gen positions. the next read will be interesting to see if they reversed after the french bank sell off.
