I don’t know that I’d go so far the other way to infer the market is _fair_ to retail traders, but the 140% short number is not itself evidence of impropriety. All it requires a lot of longs allowing their shares to be lent (check) and a lot of shorts with appetite, conviction, and deep pockets (check).
