On the contrary, shorting is beneficial to the markets. And it's been part of them forever. There's nothing "criminal" or "evil" about it. - Janice Shell

I agree. Shorting is a necessary "evil". Whether the bulls like it or not, it does create stability and liquidity in the market.

What I do not agree with is the "non-marginable" restrictions placed on stocks below $1. If market makers could short and those with off-shore accounts, then US retail customers should have access to short selling "ALL" securities. Only then would there be true balance in the markets.
