Naked shorting is gambling plain and simple. It does not relate to finance. Being long on margin is a typical finance transaction. You borrow on an asset.

they are *exactly* the same. in both cases you are borrowing money to speculate on the market. "naked" shorting isn't a scam, it happens every minute of every day in the futures markets, it is not only legal, it's a financial necessity for people needing to dynamically hedge open positions.
