Therefore to extrapolate from your assertion of the good that short sellers are doing.  Murderers are also then doing a public good by keeping exploding human populations in check, if, as many reputable thinkers content that population growth is mankinds greatest problem. Would you then recommend that more people commit murder in the public interest, never mind the pain and suffering? Are short sellers really carrying a useful message or would it not be also useful to murder a few of them as well? It appears that they are breeding faster than any other population group.

Personally I believe that stock prices would always eventually regress back to a true value without these loathsome types trying to do us a public service .
