Some tinfoil-hat wearing folks might also consider shorting as a means for instos to take a larger position in a co at a discount. Especially when a stock suffers a temporary set-back. The wheels fall off for a while and a few nervous nellies jump out, but you add some short selling in there and really drive the price down, then at the lows we'll see a super fund (probably some industry fund or similar) claim they can no longer take the loss and sell a massive holding as a cross trade to the private fund (that was loaning out shares for short selling) and a year or so later when the setback is forgotten the co is doing well and the private fund is laughing. The only losers are the super funds that charge high fees and give low returns to members.
