Ummm,

If you buy a stock at $20 and panic sell at $10, who gets the difference? The company really makes out, don't they?
If a short seller borrows those shares, he or she gets the money.
So, it boils down to whether the overhpyed company gets the money as opposed to a short.
If the company has allowed the stock price to increase on hype alone, I would prefer the short seller to get the money."


Just so that I can understand how this works. You are saying that the "Company" gets the money when I buy a stock?

Or are you saying that the "Company" gets the cash from the increase in the value of its shares?

And tell me again how the "Company" "allowed the stock price to increase." Is there someone at each company in charge of setting the price? Do they have that power? Gosh, why don't they simply raise the price to $100 so that we don't have to wait around here forever?

I wish that someone had explained all of this to me before I invested.

You short guys are really smart, and I thank you for bringing your wisdom to the rest of us.
