Here’s a pdf that explains in detail why short selling is good for the stock market \/. https://www.capmktsreg.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/CCMR-Statement-on-Short-Selling.pdf TL;DR \/ WHY SHORT SELLING IS A USEFUL THING Short selling tends to have the effect of reducing the volatility of a stock price. It achieves this by allowing traders to efficiently incorporate negative information about a business into the stock price. This makes the stock price more reflective of reality. Think of it like this. When a child is learning a new skill, they need both positive reinforcement for when they do something good and negative reinforcement when they do something bad. The positive reinforcement is necessary so that the child has the motivation to continue learning. The negative reinforcement is necessary so that the child understands where their weak spots are and thus, where they need to improve. In this analogy: * child’s actual skill level -> fundamental value of a business, * child’s ego -> stock price, * positive reinforcement -> traders investing normally into a business * negative reinforcement -> traders shorting a business. A child that gets nothing but positive reinforcement regardless of performance will have an inflated sense of self, an ego that is not warranted given their current level of skill. Eventually, reality will catch up with the child, and they will come crashing down, becoming emotionally volatile. This is analogous to a stock market in which shorting is not allowed. There would be no efficient mechanism for negative reinforcement to be incorporated into a stock price. This would lead to inflated stock prices, and eventually, a crash in the stock price, thus leading to volatility. WHY WALL STREET HEDGE FUNDS ARE SHIT CUNTS The problem with Wall Street hedge funds shorting stock (from what I understand) is not the process of shorting itself, but rather the disproportionate influence that hedge funds can have by shorting too much. Imagine a child trying to learn a skill with an overbearing, harsh and vindictive father. A child that receives nothing but negative reinforcement will go into decline. This is because he is not being rewarded for doing things well and has no mechanism to know or prioritise what his weak spots are because everything feels like a weak spot. The downfall of the child is caused precisely BECAUSE of the overly harsh negative reinforcement, not because of anything fundamentally wrong with the child. Analogously, Wall Street hedge funds can use their power to short a stock too much to such an extent that the downfall of the business is accelerated, not by anything wrong with the fundamental value of the business, but rather because of the constant barrage of negative reinforcement. (P.S. I don’t fully understand this shit myself, the above is just a summary of what I think I know)

If they can hear it in the earphones, they should just disable the external sound. A quiet room is a good recording room!
