"Where does this pseudo morality come from in trading in a market? Why is it OK for you to make money because you bet on a stock price to go up as opposed to traders who make money based on the underlying assumptions of the buyers being unsound?"

I don't follow you, nor do I see how this has any relevance to my posed question or even minor juxtaposition to the thread in general. At no point did I question the general acceptance of, nor the vehicle with which you chose to invest and/or make money. What I asked is for a short with a legitimate reason to have their position to share with me the rationale behind initiating a position with what seems to me to be an irrational risk. I feel that it is in an investors best interest to learn and vet information from both sides of the argument to best position themselves for growing principal and protecting their investment. I do NOT believe that emotions, belligerence and pseudo morality have a place in the market.

If you or anyone you know can provide an answer to the above question as well as provide empirical numbers and historical relevance to support the thesis it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your response and good luck.
