"couldn't happen to a nicer bunch..."

Worthy maybe, but definitely NOT nicer!

IF, as a few proposed, shorting was a healthy aspect, then why do so many absolutely loathe it? And, to the point of governments banning it?

Even blind Freddy knows it is immoral and therefore not beneficial for the end game of prosperity for ALL - successful businesses generate employment and capital gains, with those two generating government income.

Hard to imagine how the powers that be just cannot see this - unless you understand that if they acted they may just be biting the hand that feeds them!
