Shorting is a crock - they use the argument of increase liquidity to justify it - ASIC / ASX say its all good - shorting - High frequency trading - iceberg orders - uboat undisclosed orders - dark pools - centre point cross match trades yada yada yada !

Its all good because the vested interests make gazillions $$$ from it - removing some of the overseeing power from ASX to ASIC just gave them someone else to blame - If you have ever tried to source any info or making a trading complaint to ASX or ASIC you will know what I mean.

If shorting was all good they wouldn't have banned it at the height of the GFC sub prime crisis- for a small period of time all shorting was banned then it was relaxed and only applied to banks and financial institutions until things got back on an even keel

Shorting Occam - just ban it all together ( IMO )
