I love short sellers. They serve a vital moral purpose in financial markets, as the article describes. Here's hoping the new rate regime will serve them better.

- MuffinFlavored 4y agoi feel like i’ve read (in comment sections on reddit) the opposite? that short sellers are predatory and “bad”
- quintushoratius 4y agoIt all depends on which side of the sale you're on. The interesting thing about short sellers is, we only focus on the short sellers, not the people or companies that are loaning the stocks to them. When the short seller loses, they stand to make a bundle.
- chii 4y ago> moral purpose in financial markets i wouldn't really describe it as moral, but more a corrective force to ensure efficiency in the markets. It's neutral (or amoral), rather than moral.
