danielson, shorting is allowed because it allows, specfically but not exclusievly, those who are within the industry and markets, to benefit out of Share Proces both rising and falling. No different to those complex financial instruments that markets and banks themselves created and, strangely, do not now properly understand (when asked to explain).
Shorting allows those within the indutry a win-win situation.
It brings 'some' liquidity to the markets but not enough to convince me they it is worthwhile (especially because it is destructive).
Should be banned.
