I stand by my post. If a company is doing well, the bottom line will tell the lenders all that they need to know. I don't think too many look very hard at the share price. As for raising capital on the secondary market, if your stock price is in the toilet there probably is a reason for it and it is not time to expand. Shorting cannot put a well run company under - period. If a company is printing paper to fund it operations on a constant basis then yes shorting that stock will effect it for sure. But again there is a fundamental problem that the stock price is reflecting.

shorting is as much a part of the market as going long imo....I see nothing un-american about it, if anything it's quite an American exercise--we have the freedom that if we feel a company is overvalued we can trade against that valuation---it's not trading against the company nor the United States---it's simply a trade against the perceived high stock valuation. Why exactly does believing a company is valued too high un-patriotic or un-American? some of you have really gone off the deep end imo.
