Ask MEScreech. It's his whine.

Shorting, were there more of it, would help temper the idiotic bubbles such as occurred in the '90s. And it tempers the subsequent decline because the shorts have to buy back.

AND the shorts make money when they cover, which means they can then stimulate the moribund economy. :-)
