Big Investors Bet More Against Stocks; Goldman Flags Risk of Sudden Price Jump

Hedge funds, big investors, placed more bets that stocks will fall, near a five-year high, Bloomberg reported October 22. Goldman Sachs says borrowed money behind those bets is higher than 99% of the past five years. If prices rise, bettors on falls may rush to buy shares back, pushing prices higher. This is a risk warning, not a prediction.
