There is a good side to their activity:

The large hedge funds can really harm these smaller startups and struggling companies via excessive short selling.

Good example: Kerrisdale Capital did two things to NAK back in Feb 2017:

1. Released a very debatable negative opinion on NAK
2. Prior, established a major short position in the shares of NAK.

The principle at Kerrisdale (imo, somewhat questionable individual), made a Ton of $$. (Capitol "T" on Ton.)

A prime example of how short sellers harm small (retail) investors (like many of us...).

And there's not too much the victims of the hedge funds could do. NAK tried to fight:

But this was pretty much water over the dam. Harm was done to NAK and all NAK longs (us). Kerrisdale had the $$ in the bank. (Indirectly, our money.)

So, personally, I say to WSB: "GO GET 'EM!"

This should begin to go away as the shorts (hedge funds) are driven back, or better yet out of business.
