wsj.com: Short Sellers Pull Back on Their Bets Against the Stock Market

Full disclosure: how should I know if they're right or if they're wrong?

Short sellers are easing off their bets of pain ahead in the stock market: Total U.S. short selling increased by $20 billion in June, down from a $61 billion increase in May and less than most months in 2022

up and up. Good. But, eventually, things must come down (maybe?). I didn't expect such a long sustained 'up' market and I suspect w/ the tax cuts of 2017, a lot of the gains were one-time, and not repeatable. Who knows? This market is different than those in the past w/ its constantly upwards trend.
