Market is about investing in companies to help their growth, shortselling is betting in a company to fail, therefore is no longer an investment and it's gambling, selling a stock and buying lower does not guarantee the stock will eventually go lower as in many instances you're left behind and may have to buy even higher, so don't tell me about market investing and morals associated with investing, shortselling is immoral because you invent shares that do not exist,...you'll understand that when you take your own company public one day.

The main problem is that shorting isn’t subjected to the same rules as going long. No reporting requirements. No filings. You don’t even need to own the shares to sell them. There’s something very wrong with that and begs the question why is it allowed?
