    I would argue less than 1% of short selling actually uncovers something egregious about bad companies, and I think I'm being generous there. For the most part Short selling has been setup to profit those who do it, and really no one else. Instead of paying short sellers to expose crimes, why not empower your Justice Department to do so?
    Exposing crime should always be a non-profit endeavour and we should all have moral obligations to do so. I totally agree with Ben here.

    • @tylermeyer8515
      @tylermeyer8515 Год назад +2

      I agree Short Sells are like cancer 99.9% it's betting on people losing but .01% it can be good. Not worth it. Short selling should be made illegal.

    • @ctvxl
      @ctvxl Год назад

      I'm not a fan of the tactics that many big short sellers engage in. But at the same time, it is the financial incentive that can drive "honest" shorts to uncover fraud, etc. in the first place. Without the incentive of making money, they would be off spending their energy doing other things.
      Just like most things in life, this is not a black or white topic. There are always shades of grey. Shorts exposing Enron, Nikola motors, Theranos, etc. are doing a service to the community. And the fact that there is money to be made in the process is what incentivizes them to do the research and other work to expose these frauds in the first place. I believe this type of "activist" short selling is good.
      The "bad" short selling is when big fish short just to move the stock price down temporarily in order to manipulate options trades, etc. That sort of thing needs to be better regulated and controlled.

    • @Tangvu

      @@ctvxl -- Well you can make the same argument about "murder". Why is murder illegal for the most part, but Capital Punishment is legal and actually effective in some countries? The existence of capital punishment does not necessitate the legality of murder, and I'm sure everyone can agree to that.
      Short Selling is only legal in the US because far too many powerful and rich people rely on it, and they can ensure it stays legal.

    • @ctvxl
      @ctvxl Год назад

      @@Tangvu That is quite a stretch comparing short selling to murder. Besides, your analogy is flawed. Data shows that capital punishment does little to nothing to deter murder.
      Look, I fully agree that short selling is abused by wall street. It needs to be better regulated to prevent naked shorting and manipulation. If it were, it would be a constructive and useful tool for exposing fraud. Simple...

      @@ctvxl -- Capital punishment's primary aim is really to neuter dangerous criminals because they've gone beyond rehabilitation. Which data are you looking at anyway? Have you seen the data for Singapore?
      The point is a tiny amount of good from an activity does not necessitate a widespread adoption of it. Financial crimes can get exposed without it, because which short seller exposed Bernie Madoff or the GFC? Plus, even without short selling there was no way Enron would have remained a sustainable business forever. These things have a way of unravelling themselves.
      Short Selling should be ILLEGAL - and perhaps the only party that should be allowed to do it is the JUSTICE department with a lot of hurdles they need to jump over first. Regulating it implies you think it does more good than harm and therefore should be allowed to exist legally.
