Druss, shorting is not stealing. I have shorted stocks profitably myself. What I despise is attacking a stock with lies and innuendoes just because I have shorted the stock and justifying my action on the claim (true or not) that the stock is being hyped by unscrupulous manipulators or that the content of the company's operation is questionable. When someone does that type of bashing and thinks that he is not doing anything wrong because the promoters are hypers and deserve to lose, ignoring the fact that the people losing their investments are often hard working honest people, that is clearly wrong in my view. If this dishonest manipulation is pointed out to these type of bashers, they say: "Well you should have known better than to invest in a rotten company, God has given you a brain" or whatever. They ignore the fact that they really cheated the honest investor and not the so called promoters and hypers. It's the method used what bothers me. It is just not honest. BTW, I don't say this out of bitterness because I lost money, which I have not. It is, in my view, the truth and I think money made this way will not have a blessed ending.
