If thats all it was that would be fine but we aren't dealing with tangible assets. The GME fiasco showed everyone that the stocks they are "borrowing" dont actually exist. So they are free to "borrow" and sell more stocks then actually exist. This makes short selling a destructive tool for market manipulation for anyone with enough capitol or leverage. Short selling made sense in the 20s when stocks where physical peices of paper. Now a days liquidity isn't a real issue and if it is one the answer certainly isnt this.

Both these and your statements are equal in weight.

Short selling is entirely normal and ethical market activity. If you think a company is doing a bad job and is worth less than what it's selling for, you should absolutely be able to sell it now and buy it later. You should absolutely be able to buy a put contract and exercise it on the fool who sold it.

You don't know how markets work if you don't think corrections are real, or that the short position is equal in ethical weight to the long position.

Bad companies (like those hedge funds you hate so much) exist. Don't you think you should be able to short them? Maybe not while we're having this argument and it bothers your dissonance, but outside of that and your childish anger, you're probably more than happy to short them. Or any kiked out company producing trash like Activision Blizzard.

The truth is you're looking for any excuse to say your poor choices aren't your own fault, and you're blaming short positions instead of actual market manipulation.

Grow up you good little goy and maybe go after failed to deliver shares and exchange-imposed position limits/closures. instead of naked options and short positions. You know, actual market manipulation.

What if you don't own a company but believe it's overvalued?
What if the long position is only willing to sell when it goes up and refuses to let it go down?

They can easily manipulate the market on the exact opposite end of what the hedge funds did and simply refuse to sell below a certain price. But if the security simply isn't worth what it's selling for, and you have a short position, them being able to win by buying a put and selling shares the exchange offers, with nobody willing to buy causes the price to move until the market discovers someone willing to sell, which causes a downward trend, the exact opposite causes an upward trend. You need all, not just one.

In a world with derivatives, high technology and many transactions you need these choices. Otherwise you have the exact same thing but in reverse.

It goes both ways anon, the short position allows the security to actually be worth something real, instead of just "what someone will buy it for" ad infinitum

Pulput at its finest.
Option contracts don't actually change the supply and demand of the market you sneaky fuck. They are outside entities that can go up or down in value and then can be exicuted if they are profitable. No one has an issue with put contracts because they actually exist outside of the main system. (Yes im aware that there is a market for the contracts that influences the price of the stock) when you naked short a stock you are directly depressing the price by selling shares that dont exist. Fuck off. In the future of crypto exchanges short selling will be regulated so that whoever is the arbitor of the exchange actually has to own the shares you are shorting. Otherwise they will inevitably fail without uncle sam to bail them out.

Yeah with your kiked out permission mr shekelberg. If I think your trash-ass company is going down I'm more than happy to buy a put and make you buy your trash shares at that bullshit price you said they were last week. I don't give a fuck what you tell me is "my right" to short your trash company. If it was "worth" that much and then it goes down and I think it's going down lower I sure as fuck am not going to buy it lmao, I'm going to make money on it going down ONLY. That's the point of a short position - that it's not worth as much as people are buying and selling it for and that over time the market will show that.

>some nonsense about long positions intermixing the two concepts
don't care, but it's still wrong, if I think it's about to go up immediately I'm buying a covered call, not the stock.
>But you like riding the coattails of the panic
Are you high on something that makes you seem charismatic to yourself? This is fucking cringey. And no, I'm not emotional about this like you, I'm capitalizing on an overvalued stock correcting downward like it objectively should.
>Its literally* kike* witchcraft and you know it
No, KIKE, it's literally the opposite position of the long position. I think stock go down, I sell stock. The part where shares fail to deliver is the securities fraud, the shares that didn't exist. What you're selling is shares that do exist that the exchange sets as "owned" by one party and "sold" by another. If that person wants to sell their "owned" share, then I have to buy it back. That's part of how puts work in options, and how shorting even exists. Saying shorts are KIKE (say it with me scholomo, K I K E) bullshit is like saying crypto transactions or smart contracts or Dapps are KIKE nonsense. You simply don't know what you're talking about.

The problem with fraudulent inflation by an exchange refusing to allow sell transactions (or by long positions not allowing a short position to exist) is that there is no counterbalance. You need an equal deflationary force. If the actual value of a security is 20% of what it's selling for, and there is no short position, that 80% still does not exist.

go read the strawman section and learn how to argue without disingenuous statements... assuming you actually understood what I was saying and aren't pretending to be (more) retarded.

You aren't arguing what people will pay for it you're arguing what people will sell it for when you take the long position.
Short positions exist to cause price deflationary discovery, or, in combination with long positions, to peg the price of a stock to the real world value of the underlying company.

Selling borrowed shares that exist isn't fraud. It's taking a loan out in shares (or it's equivalent fiat value). That's not "making stocks up that don't exist."

Tt's not insane, just over your head now because you can't think past a barely literate person from the 1800s.

You're technically shorting every time you borrow or rent something. You might not literally cash out from it, but your cash is worth more to you than just buying whatever you borrow or rent, and you think you won't hold as much value in whatever you borrow a while later.
