    How would you feel if a CEO who leant his stocks to a third party, and that third party shorted the CEO's own company. (of course he is going to say he'd didnt know)

    I emailed ASIC suggesting CEO's disclose when they lend their stock. I hope the Opus Prime guys do the time.

    Anyway, short selling, perhaps intended as a hedge against a downturn, has turned into a weapon for the powerful.

    Needs a review IMO.
