The saddest part of this is the small companies that may be destroyed by Wall Street, before they have a chance to mature. If the U.S. Economy loses promising innovative companies because of manipulation of naked shorts, or other yet undiscovered malicious actions, then the benefit of their work may be lost, not only to the U.S. economy, but to the world.
