Morgan Stanley: Exploding the Short-Seller Myth

To say that shorting is not a bad thing, is a lie. It's like the bully in school going after the weak kids money.

In the rules of capitalism, it's fair, Darwin's natural selection right? But why not leave the irresponsible companies alone if you don't own the stock?

Ok, you could use the argument that in the long run weaker companies who survived can do more damage to the system.

But in my view, if systemic risk is on the table, allowing short sales can be the shortcut to hell. Stock markets should be something that help the economies, not a casino, where you are just gambling on who's to fail. IT's about investing in companies for christ sake.
