The most obvious concern about shorting is also the simplest to remedy.
Retail investors buy a stock and then take a risk on the market forces determining whether or not they make a profit. Risk/reward.
Whereas shorters borrow the shares and immediately can go out and dump them on the market, thus creating their own market force by enabling themselves to buy those shares at a lower price, that they created, and then closing off their "investment" and pocketing the profit, and, the lender gets paid for their part in the deal too.
Some countries legislate that borrowed shares cannot be immediately sold for less than the price that they were when they borrowed them and the terms and length of the contract with the lender are public. Fair. Transparent.
Where's the "fairness", where's the balance, where's the transparency in the Australian system??
