I have always thought that an entity's ability to short should be limited to the number of shares they hold long. Shorting is a very valid mechanism for hedging against future downside. The day they allowed this to become a technique for generating wealth was the day the market stopped being about business and started being a game for the wealthy. I am aware of the arguments that shorting helps liquidity. I eschew them. The practice of making money on someone else's misfortune should never be glorified or encouraged.
Anyone who has ever had their small cap business destroyed by shorting and forced into a nightmare spiral of toxic financing knows what I am talking about.
Maybe now is finally the time that some Congress critter will have the moral courage to try and stop this hideous practice?
