Yeah, sure it is. Those invisible helicopters above prove it. If the market is so rigged, how is it that I have made a boatload of money in it over the last 25 years ? How is it that this rigged market allowed me to retire from my prior occupation to focus on investing only ? ABOVE MARKET RETURNS, with no shorting. And how is it that everyone who cries about naked shorting is either a proven loser in the markets or a Charlatan trying to sell stock or explain away poor performance ? (Or both) A guy named Patrick comes to mind ! If the market is rigged, I wish I could find more things rigged that allows me to make a boatload of money by simply identifying scams versus real microcaps and avoiding the scams. Shorts do a service to the markets. Honest ones, not the Manny Velasco types that get insider information from crooked FBI agents. Let me help explain it to you since you clearly have no idea what you post about. Fact...you buy scams. Its what you do. Most everyone that says the market is rigged also bought scams or were just as stupid as dead logs. Shorts SAVE you money by letting you lose less than you otherwise would. Shorts HELP folks like you that dont know how to invest in that they save you money. Granted, you'll only blow it on a different scam and blame the rigged markets but still. Ive exposed stock frauds for over 2 decades. Never shorted a single one of them. Had I been able, I would probably be so rich it isnt funny. If the market is rigged, explain Warren Buffets success over a very long period of time. Seems to me your entire life is based on a totally false premise. Short selling never ruined a single viable company. Its IMPOSSIBLE. Viable companies MAKE MONEY regardless of who shorts their stock or why. If the stock gets sold down too low, they can buy it out and take it private and the shorts will lose money. Isnt about time for you to apply for a job with overstock ? Patrick hires folks like you with no understanding of the public market and a propensity to blame others for your own mistakes.
