Help you invest

It’s always easier to preach to the converted or those who are borderline interested.

Hindenburg does a good job of that. They pick their spots to attack a target. It usually works because an investor’s fear is a bigger emotion than a trader’s greed.

Short-selling is necessary to keep markets from being overly dominated by the sell side. But I also believe that the SEC should be monitoring these short-seller reports as much as any others from the sell side.

Take, for example, a JP Morgan or Goldman Sachs analyst report purporting that a corporate finance client has achieved a world-class victory with all the fanfare and more that those financial behemoths could muster, and knowing their report would shock the investment world had purchased blocks of stock shortly before the report release. If the firm sold its stock into the market buying, and the ‘news’ turned out to be less than earth-shattering, would you expect the SEC to respond to investor complaints? Of course, you would. So why is the same not expected of these short-sellers as reverse pump-and-dump is exactly what they are doing?

Yes, I believe in the need for short selling, but I also want the regulators to treat them like everybody on the sell side.
