just make short selling illegal

This website will allow you to target email each of your Senators and Congressmen. The focus right now is Finra's corruption stealing the shares of MMTLP from over 67,000 share holders by Hedge Funds Naked Short selling unlimited shares.

And I would add, it is a derivatives market that is the problem tot correct price discovery.

Futures are a mess, because the futures-market is always front-running, ready to manipulate the price down or up depending on what they want based on demand.

The Options-market is a place to manipulate the price based on naked short-selling.

Both markets are high on cheap credit, which also can easily be manipulated.

Other derivatives like CDO's and other exotic names simply front run the interest development. It either is wrong, which constitutes the problem, or is exactly right, which is ok. Being wrong is more probable, and manipulation of the price of money is required in order to keep the Fin.market from collapsing.

Through smart mechanism and narratives, like: companies need stable prices to evade risk, easy manipulation is introduced. Companies take risk. That is why they have a risk manager on board. So, yeah, it only fuels an economy of wasting production and under the guise of the catchy name: creative destruction, busts and booms that allows those who manipulate best to obtain assets against ultra low prices.
