shorting, page-25

Can someone tell me how allowing your stock to be lent out to shorters and there by incur a drop of 30-40% on the value of your stock for a small in comparison fee is in your best interests - if the stock belonging to you is being lent without your permission then that is where the government should step in - no of this makes sense unless the stock being lent is being done so without the owners consent or informed knowledge - shorting as we see here in Australia is wrong and needs to be place on a level playing field before it's too late.
