This may come as a shock to you, stockhound, but only in pennyland are companies constantly issuing shares to fund operations-generally because they have no real business.

Strong companies used debt financing for expansion, and the price of their shares in the third market has zero impact on operations.

Are you telling me that you view our capital markets as a charity ward for those enterprises that keep rifling through all of their working capital?

There is nothing about a short position, "naked" or otherwise, that keeps a company from creating value for their shareholders. And there has never been, despite what kind of tripe you may have been fed by the likes of Faulk, a company that was ever bankrupted by short selling.

Never.
