The joker comes when, instead of falling, the stock rises after the short seller has sold the stock which he borrowed. There is much hair tear- ing at this juncture on the part of the "bear," as the short seller is called. He is being stripped more and more as the stock rises higher. Should he buy now before it gets higher or should1 he wait and hope that the rising mar-1 ket will hit an air-pocket and fall 1 before the date on which he has to pay the stocktback? This is one of the reasons why many short-sellers wind up as drooling idiots.( Short-selling is justified economi- cally, because it is supposed to provide a "cushion" to stop security prices from falling more than they would if there were no short-selling, and be-' cause it is supposed to help provide1 a check to keep security prices from rising too high, Professor Waterman said. According to the "cushion" theory,I the short-sellers in a time when stocks are falling lower and lower check this decline by buying the stock to pay back the loan of the shares which they sold when the market was high. This demand or order to buy stocks at a time when' nearly everyone else is unloading his Next Hampstead Play Abolishes Curtain Drops Reviving that ancient custom of the French medieval drama, simul- taneous stage setting, the Hampstead Players will present the early French farce "Comical Adventures of Master Peter Panthelin" in the Lydia Men- delssohn Theatre, November 17 and 18. Tickets will be sold at the box- office starting Friday, November 15. "The play will mark an attempt to capture the flavor of the medieval French drama with the seasoning of: modern lighting and property tech- nique, commented Oren Parker, Art Director of Play Production, who is acting as technical adviser for the play. To capture this medieval "fla- vor," a simultaneous indoor stage is to be used for the first time in the history of University drama. By simultaneous stage setting, Par- ker explained, is meant a stage in which there are no changes of scen- ery or curtain drops to indicate lapses of place or time. Instead all the set- tings for the various scenes occupy separate portions of the stage, and as the action of the players shifts from one set to another, the attention of the audience naturally focuses upon the particular set where the ac- tion is taking place.

In other words it is argued ,that if. there were no short selling stock prices would, in times of optimism, soar beyond sine heights because there would be a greater demand for stock at existing prices than there would be supply at those prices. Because prices did rise higher, more buyers would come into the field boosting securities into the ether be- yond reason and economic health.
