According to the latest data from EPFR, a global capital flow research institute, as of late September, the number of open short sales of stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange increased 2.7% over the previous statistical period, breaking 21 billion shares for the first time in history, reaching a record high. Although the increase in the scale of shorting reflects a continued increase in bearish bets from investors, the EPFR believes this may be a positive sign from a reverse investment perspective, as large numbers of short positions may be converted into compensatory purchases in the future.
