"Not interested in the ongoing angst re shorting...it's a fact of life and it does provide liquidity so I can't understand why there is so much discussion on a facet of the market which is here to stay. Shorting can be as profitable as straight long investing so it's a legitimate tool for professional investors, (who normally protect their positions with option strategies as well,) so not necessarily something a mere retail investor should involve themselves with."
Precisely.
Well-articulated.
The exact argument I have been making.
