short ban on german stocks, page-12

Tony

You sound like a shorter, not much else shines through in your post - apart from some ridicule.

Anyway, my opinion for the forum is that we should have a "do not short" register for our superannuation - like a "do not call" register for avoiding unwanted telemarketing.

If we each foreboded such shorting (unpaid service) of our own superannuation funds, then these 'shorters' would need to find real shares to pump and dump. And ideally, if everyone forbode shorting of their own super, then there would be a shortage for shorters.
This would deter the operations of Pump+dump and Shorting in one foul swoop.
Shorting is for scum IMO, who would like to manipulate your shares to make the manipulator money.
If money was made off a short, then by rights, a fee should be paid into the superannuation fund, which then should be re-distributed to superfund members like a dividend.

As usual, only the rich get richer and the poor absolutely do get the picture nowadays. You need money to short - lots of it - and you then need an evil a plan to dump someone else's share price for them before giving them back their now deflated shares.
No other industry would allow such morals, apart from a money driven one.

Personally, its my wish that all the shorters feet accidently find a doggy-do this morning... while on their coffee breaks...and in the most embarrassing of circumstances - before then being asked to leave the shop because they smell.
Really, i dont like shorters...no really.
The practice has ruined more lives than its helped and its mainly the corporations who have benefited from the practice, which is just taking money from humanity.
Down with shorters and down with corporate entity law.
