More Quotes from William Mattison:
In the middle of a correction, the market seeks to find a bottom and a top -- some kind of range that it can operate in comfortably. So you'll get wide swings as traders try to feel out where's the top, where's the bottom, where's support, where's supply.William Mattison
The stock market, believe it or not, is finally acting rationally. The market itself, which is a collection of what everyone thinks at any moment in time, is doing what it should be doing... I think it's a very healthy correction.

If you short a stock, at some point in time, you have to go back and buy it, so while the act of shorting -- particularly in massive quantities -- tends to depress the market, technicians always believe long-term it's very positive because those people have to go back in and replace those shares.
