Seven, I understand. But if shorting didn't exist.. a stock would still go up and down as people buy or sell.

In other words, a stock would move up or down based on "demand & supply, and performance" and nothing else. Currently stocks go up or down for tons of reasons, and mostly to fraud/manipulation. Today's investors are greedy. More about getting rich quickly, then truly investing.

I think banning shorting would allow everyone to make more money, instead of the usual short/long fights that gets us all nowhere. AND it would reduce ways that a stock could be manipulated.
