pretty sure you meant “far far more” but i get the point. Shorters got it horribly wrong with bhp back at the end of 2018 and i made a nice profit.

i think shorting is most acrimonious when it is targeted at enterprises that in general are seen to be doing public good.

also remember that during the gfc shorting was very close to being outlawed in both the US and Australia. It is that destabilising to markets in distress. Naked shorting was indeed removed and only recently allowed to a “limited” group of “trusted” traders, that sounds dubious to begin with.
