You make a point, Buckey, but development companies often pay their bills by raising new capital. Shorting can so reduce the price that new shares must be sold from the treasury at low prices.

Perhaps the perpetrator is not the shorter but the brokerage house. Of course the shorter is naked of the stock. It is not his responsibility to borrow stock to short, is it ? Who executes the short trade naked ? And who allows it to remain naked in contravention of buy-in regulations? Isn't it the brokerage community ? Isn't it they who might profitably cover the nakedness when they provide the needed treasury financing at the lower price levels ?
