I want the right price, not the bubble price. We’d have a lot more bubbles without short sales.

Okay, I won’t sell my shorts.

But should I launder them before I sell them?

I disagree. No clandestine group should be allowed to use investors’ accounts to scare herds of other investors and sink competitors’ businesses. IMO, the uptick rule and watchers are needed.

Short selling is nothing but selling the same shares twice. Yes they do buy them back, but only after they artificially inflate the float, which drives the stock down. Its a myth that they help the market. Did anyone ever meet a short seller that wanted the market or stock that they sell short to go up? I didn’t think so.
