I believe what is true behind the "shorting" Stock Borrowing program is that there is legal "shorting" and illegal "shorting". It is the naked shorting that will cease after 3/14 not the aspect of shorting all together. The big issue that can drive a business out of business is the naked shorting.
Regular shorting helps make the market and you can bet whether or not a stock is going up or down just like gambling.

Naked shorting is a huge problem for all stocks, not just the ones over $1.00 IMO. If you ask me it is even worse on the OTC markets and definitely needs cleaned up. You will hear all kind of things how it's this and that and that is everyone is trying to protect their interests.
