This is a great read and holy poo poo why would short selling stock be legal? Is there any benefit to the economy at large?

Shorting has its purpose in lowering the value of an over-inflated stock, theoretically stopping speculative bubbles before they can form. It just gets press for all the other schemes people use it for, including :psyduck: stuff like "naked short selling."
