Funny, I have noticed the same attitude by "non shorts". As I posted I have never shorted and I still see no reason to tax it any differently. I think this has been beaten to death if you reread all the posts.
lintex... The market reflects the condition of the economy. Not the other way around. A down market isn't anti-moral. It just IS. Traders express exuberance upon making a profit whether it's long or short. It's all in the game. If you can't take it buy CD's and go to the beach.
