Shorters are active on every just about every ASX200 company. Most do their work in silence, staking significant capital (for maximum losses on shorts are unlimited) and reputation on getting calls right, constantly subject to vilification, short squeezes, and ridicule. Yet, the service they provide is invaluable - in increasing market liquidity, improving price discovery, providing extra returns to the long term institutional investors lending out those shares, and most importantly, keeping companies honest.

To come out publicly as VGI has done so requires such high conviction that the allegations should be seriously considered by retail investors.

It may be lost initially on some of the current investors here in the short term but VGI are providing an extremely valuable resource that is rarely made available to retail investors on the ASX. Don't shoot the messenger!
