Prohibiting shorting would send a clear message to all the market participants: The SEC can change the rules to manipulate the market in a desired direction when it sees fit That message would prevent me from participating in the US markets. The argument that shorting creates an imbalance by increasing the number of shares available is more than countered by the effects of margin - which allow 2 or 3 times the amount of stocks to be bought than people can really afford. If shorting goes, so should margin.
