>shorting has an unfair advantage over going long because it trips stop losses and margin calls. Please explain otherwise.
No one is forcing you to use stop losses or trade on margin. Exposing yourself to these risks is on your trading strategy. Have a little personal responsibility.
>Doesn't matter how over- or under-valued a stock is, if you have access to enough shares to short, you can (almost always) make money via the influx of sales that are forced onto the market as you drop the price.
This is wrong, big shorters get burnt all the time something this forum often takes joy in.
>Meanwhile, they, as a broader group, are making more than this, just not for the members!
Who is "they" in this context? Financial institutions who are doing the shorting are taking far greater risk than the super funds. If someone robbed me and generated a 10% return I'd beg them to do it more often
