You're going to have to explain that one in detail for me. We have now generated trillions in liquidity for corporations. Maybe I'm dumb; walk me through how this would "crash the banks", real estate, and "the entir

There are plenty of legitimate short sellers, and there are scumbags as well. Why _wouldn't_ they share the resesarch? Of course they're biased, they hold a position. Everyone knows that. It doesn't make them wrong.

Honest question; how does Microsoft's ownership of those stifle competition? How is it anti-competitive? Just because they're popular doesn't mean they are somehow stifling competion. Again, honest question, obviously IANAL.
