Agreed with the shorting. Should be a national interest rule with this sort of stuff.

As an example, the recent shorting of the aussie gold sector was a disgrace.

The shorts put money in the pockets of global investors and then the assets are picked up @ fire sale prices by foreign investors.

It becomes a vicious circle and in the mean time Australia's vital resources sector is starved of capital.

Doesn't make much sense really.
