That's what I am getting at, Shorts longs no problem with a long term vioew. Losing ALL your capital loaned I don't think that's in anyones long term view.....is it.

I think you've got your causality the wrong way around.

The company is not at risk of going to go teets up because the share price is falling.
The share price is falling because the company is at risk of going teets up.

And, respectfully, investors who - instead of selling their stock because of potential solvency threats - were lending it out to be shorted, are little other than egregiously incompetent. Self-evidently.

The market tends to be a bit Darwinian over time - the smart get to create wealth for themselves, but the not-so-smart tend to lose their money.

The problem, I see over and over and over again, is the response of people who lose money investing.

A small minority of those people will say to themselves,

"I willfully invested. I got it wrong. I lost money. I need to learn where I went wrong so that I don't make the same mistake again."

But the vast majority of people tend to adopt the position of blame and lack of accountability, as in:

"I lost money. It's not fair. The playing field is not even. The market is rigged. The share price has been manipulated. ASIC are not doing their jobs. Short-selling should be outlawed. Management lied."

I've not audited it, but I'll place a big wager on which of these two types of investors does better as an investor over time.

management definitely lied in this case! i was buying shares factoring in the monthly payment from china, which it turns out was not happening and was not reported to have stopped.
