soso, the funny thing is that Shorts are a great thing when they are done to well run companies because it creates great opportunities for the company and its investors to buy or retire undervalued shares, on the otherhand, they show no mercy for poorly run companies and scams since the stock can never present a case that it is undervalued, therefore they tend to drop long and hard.
Frankly, the way I see it, Shorts provide a sort of equalibrium to the markets.
