Oldfortyniner and swingman, Yes, never thought of Shorting as being a type of manipulation, though have always viewed it as not quite right in that it concerns selling another's asset, loan goods instead of stolen goods re legal title, and why doesn't it apply for other assets, eg bonds, commodities, paintings, cars, even houses ?!!
The idea that Shorting makes for a more healthy Market is not applied to other assets, at least don't think so, so are their Markets less healthy ?!!
