Why Short Sellers Are the Heroes of Wall Street

This is a bogus story perpetuating the views of a few hack economists.

"They couldn't even find evidence of bear raids on 19 beleaguered financial stocks." I suggest you take a closer look at the raw data (www.deepcapture.com/wp...) before supporting these allegations. Morgan Stanley's market was raided in the days leading up to teh ban on short sales in September and, if you make note, the level of daily short sale volume was near identical to that which it was before the ban was put in place. And to think, with restrictions on short sales, how can one say sales that should not have occurred did not play a part in the market sentiments.

The problem with these economists who have become the mouth pieces of the hedge funds, they never seem to present the raw data that supports their "conclusions".
