Squeeze them hard!"

I'll never understand why some people tend to single out a certain particular minor category of share market participant - namely those who short-sell stocks - for special mention (even vitriol), when shorters are merely just one of the many different kinds of investors that inhabit the stock market.

You don't, for example, get people saying:

"Squeeze those Income Investors hard!", or

"Burn, you Growth-at-a-Reasonable-Price Investors!", or

"Those Quant Funds are pure evil", or

"The ASX is being manipulated by those European-based, Pan Asia funds."

The fact is, short-sellers - like any other investors - have zero impact on the either the quality, or the fundamental value of any business.

If anything, investors who take a considered approach to wealth creation, should be welcoming short-sellers; because they provide opportunities for those considered investors to buy shares at materially lower prices than they otherwise would have been.

@madamswer it's not complicated. It's not about singling out one minority group. It's about going against the speculators/bashers/also manipulators and coming out making money.

It makes it extra sweet - rather than just buying a share of something and watching it rise.
