Wizards of Wallstreet

To short sell a stock, is to sell a stock that you do not own.

Selling something that you do not own is stealing. For it not to be stealing, you must get permission first as a requirement, before you can sell what you do not own.

The permission to sell a stock that you do not own is the short sale restriction requirement imposed on short selling.

When you remove that restriction, short selling a stock that you do not own becomes  stealing.

There is no moral justification for short selling. (stealing)

When they tell you it is useful for price discovery that is a lie.

When they tell you it provides liquidity to the market that is a lie. It takes away liquidity from the market; it steals other people’s invested capital from the market.

Question:

Is it ok, to rob a bank to get money to open a bank account or build a new bank ?

The answer in No. That will be stealing.

But that is the business model of the Hedge Fund Short sellers  -  a criminal enterprise.

Stop the assault on capitalism.

I want my country back.
