stockhound....I guess you don't understand the system. Try to imagine the price swings you could have just from hour to hour on a thinly traded stock.
To say shorters have no risk again is saying you don't understand how it works. They actually at times are forced to take on quite a bit of risk. If market makers continually refuse to take shares short, they are squeezed out of the business.

The sell a share the never paid for to begin with and refuse to buy it back unless the can do so at a profit

You never heard of a short squeeze or a Buy in?

Whoa hounddog, longs can only lose 100% of their investment should a stock GTO.

A short's losses are limited only by how much maintenace bucks he can come up with and it don't matter if he's clothed or a nudist.
