"Trillion dollar hedgefunds manipulating $0.00001 stocks through $10.00 non-existent short trades is imaginary". Only the insane claim that limit fully defines the problem. The ENTIRE MARKET is made a fraud... by the structures enabled in current law, and by the lack of enforcement of the existing law. The impact... drives small businesses out of business, and out of the market... resulting in an ongoing aggregation of "everything"... into fewer and fewer hands. Market participation is in steep decline, as one result. Business start ups are in steep decline as one result. Availability of small business and small company financing is non-existent... as one result. And, one result... is businesses that have had their potential eviscerated by lack of access to capital... end up trading as $0.0001 stocks after the money put into them by investors at higher prices... has been wiped out and the assets their investment enabled have been attached by conversion into unsustainable debt owed to investment banks. The markets exist to ENABLE CAPITAL FORMATION... that being their only legitimate purpose. To the degree that short trades (and convertible note "financing") can be used to prevent that function... they should be obstructed, rather than allow conversion of the capital formation function into a casino dominated by "investment banks"... in which the house rigs the bets, and is the only winner. More... given technology available now... reality requires that the involvement of investment banks is WHOLLY SUPERFLUOUS to the market function... and they exist now only because of law imposing monopoly control over market access. Sane people... who understand reality and recognize the impact of policy, today... will choose to not participate in markets that are rigged to ensure the scales are tipped against them... And, that is what is gutting the economy, now: rational choices made in the face of irrational policy.
