I respect the enthusiasm of the common man vs wall street big boys and making their mark. But I think there needs to be perspective and balance to both sides. Short selling is not in itself an evil practice because like all healthy markets, they need liquidity else, goodluck moving any stock at all. However, releasing a scathing report with falsified data with intention to short sell is evil and this is the practice that needs to be called out, policed and vilified. I feel the reddit army as big hearts they have are somewhat naive to say the least. The act of shorting also can potentially expose the flaws in company fundamentals sooner rather than later should things actually appear worse off than they seem fundamentally. The main takeaway is if you are a long term investor, shorting should really not affect you in anyway unless you are needing your capital in the short or immediate future term.
