Very few genuinely prepared to give their time these days...its all about take, take, take.
Shorters, and/or those busting their guts to see a stock price fall, are the biggest "takers" of all.
When a stock rises, everyone makes money...the Company gain corporate "health", which facilitates success, expansion, jobs, and profits for their shareholders that pay taxes (increasing the country's wealth), the balance of which eventually finds its way into the retail market...which in turn stimulates the economy further...all good.
When stocks fall, a Company's corporate "health" suffers, raising cash to develop projects becomes problematic and therefore success becomes harder, jobs are lost, shareholders lose their wealth, so pay less (or no) taxes, and as a result hold onto the rest of their money which kills the retail market and help contract the economy...all except for a handful of shorters who benefit at the expense of all others.
The economy (and HC threads), would be so much better off without shorters.
Cheers!
