@Just_Westy, this post isn't directed at you but your post made me think.

I agree that Super Funds need to make returns however I am not sure how that works in lending out shares. Yes they will make some money by lending shares out on revenue account, however the value of an individuals own super holdings is largely influenced by the SP of companies within that portfolio.

To illustrate, if a SuperFund lent out shares and it made 5% on those shares, but the shorting led to that SP collapsing by say 20% would an individual holder in that fund be better off??

I believe shorting should be banned on the ASX, but that is another story. Shorting has nothing to do IMO about efficient markets as many like to argue the point in support of shorting - I have always seen shorting as market manipulation, just like I do with the typical 'pump' crews of spec stocks on twitter.

All IMO
