isn't NAKED SHORT SELLING the same as NAKED LONG BUYING in terms of risk v reward?
are we forgetting that the "scum" shorters are taking on a huge risk when naked-shorting just like the VOLKSWAGEN fiasco showed...?
it is human nature to blame everyone else if things don't go the way they should(up) but shorters are not the cause only the catalyst (yes they do speed things up)
BUY and HOLD strategy is a thing of the past and many investors including all the lazy instos in AU are seemingly having a problem adjusting to this new volatile world
what i do have a problem with is when the same lazy insto fund managers (i did work for the 2nd biggest in AU and did see it way too often)lend their BUY and HOLD shares via custodians to shorters and collect the proceeds as fees
