Shorting ruins people’s lives and causes recession. Why allow this when market can go up forever and make everyone richer? Government should make shorting illegal for the greater good desu.

banning shorting makes it less attractive to own junior debt tranches and convertible debt offerings which is one aspect as to why banning shorting causes credit to freeze up and additional selling. When shorting is banned there is lots of hedged debt that has to be dumped ASAP
