Banning Shorts Works in Fancy Restaurants, Not the Marketplace

large hedge funds can move markets unfairly. I think the practice of short selling should be stopped permanently. It is not a sound practice for the stock market. Big money can squeeze the small investor out. Investing in stocks is about value. Too many retirement funds count on growth to help retirees reach their goals. Tell me how short selling a stock on perhaps weak data is allowing the rich to gain more. How many hedge funds allow small investors in. They don't. My thought is "if you don't own you can't sell it. Gee I wonder who presented this practice to begin with.
