jimmy .. we know the following ..

Short selling .. legal or otherwise .. INCREASES THE FLOAT !! How simple is that ? And increasing the float = dilution = a lowering of price governed by the law of supply and demand. This is all fundamentally simple stuff to understand. However the short selling is not properly policed in my opinion. But yes .. short selling does have its place. However in all cases it should be controlled by the seller's ability to locate shares that can be borrowed. I think a percent limit should be applied to the shares that can be made available in the stock borrow program. In Canada it is called the 'Loan Post'. But to allow criminals to just sell sell sell is completely wrong. And I believe that it happens far too often.
