short interest peer perspective, page-13

I wouldn't have a problem with shorting if a rule were introduced that said for every share you short in a particular company you have to buy two back within a certain time period. This would do liquidity no harm, it would be a real test of one's convictions and would prevent what I think is happening in the case of Lynas, which is to push the price lower to enable certain funds the opportunity to purchase the shares at a much cheaper price than otherwise would be the case were shorting not allowed in the first place.
