[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is shorting allowed? that seems crazy[/quote] Np. Shorting plays an important role in not letting stocks get overheated. Obviously it’s been corrupted. [/quote] It is an important risk mitigation technique. If you are a dealer, it's your job to have stock inventory for your customers to buy. You are not holding it for potential gains. In fact, you want to be flat as you ca be on the risk. Shorting the inventory is perhaps the most important tool for achieving that. Also, it's pretty legitimate to short a stock one thinks is over-valued. That helps price discovery and liquidity. But shorting a stock to drive a company into bankruptcy simply to enrich oneself--pretty nefarious. Would love to see rules that prevent this type of shorting while allowing the other types.[/quote]
