Sorry, I don't buy your arguments. Shorting only opens doors to naked shorting.

Perhaps as a trader, your beliefs work well for you. As an investor though, they don't, and I am more an investor than a trader.

Also, you seem 'conditioned' to believe that there MUST be bears and bulls. Why?

Why can't we simply have a system where if you think a stock has potential, you buy. If you don't think it has potential, you move on to one that does.

People buy real estate with hopes their investment goes up. No one shorts homes or land. Why should they be allowed to short stocks, which can be equally as long term of an investment?

It is simply a system that has only been in place for 70+ years and people have became accustomed to it. Doesn't means it's good or right.

History if full of things that society was accustomed to, until a better understanding came about. Slavery is one example. People were accustomed to it for MANY years, but intelligence prevailed, thank God.
