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. JimC

RG, you said,: 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.

If the company has allowed the stock price to increase on hype alone, I would prefer the short seller to get the money. The truth is out there! I'll tell you this, the only truth I see out there is that you don't have a tiny clue about stocks. The company gets the money??? Geez did you even read any books on investing to even understand the absolute basics of what a stock is? I guess the price we longs who have been here a while and understand what we own must pay is that when our investment goes way up that we must take all the morons that come to our message boards along with all of our big money. LOL at you buddy. Hit the books before you make a fool of yourself again. Mark
