Short Activity in PNV, page-4095

Well legalized "theft" does occur with unfair contracts or with people or organizations that game the system. Sometimes it ends up in court and a judge might decide in favour of the person who lost their money or find that is morally wrong to take financial advantage of someone's naivety but not illegal. IMO betting a stock will go down in the short term is no different from betting it will go up. That's fine. But professional short funds go beyond that by using their resources to effectively influence the outcome in the direction of their bet. They are tilting the roulette table to their advantage, bending the rules without technically breaking them, or if they do break them then they attempt to disguise it so it's hard to uncover. And if they are found out their employer dismisses it as a "rogue trader", even when I suspect it's normal practice and unofficially sanctioned.
