I was talking about shorting has no purpose for the public company. If I owned XYZ Computers Inc, what would shorting do for my company?

Well, if XYZ Computers Inc. was publicly traded, and you were the CEO - or, even if you were just an investor - you'd want an orderly and continuous market for the stock. Without short sellers, you wouldn't have that.

And that says nothing for hedging. If you owned stock and wanted to hedge it against a decline, other than a terrible mismatch by using sector futures or options, the best opportunities you have hedging are found in shorting the stock or buying puts.

Evidently it serves no purpose to discuss this matter with you any longer. That's the sad part of it. Same religion as some people adhered to when they always (sic) tried to "call in the certs..."
