Seriously. I understand the value that longs bring to the economic system. An entrepreneur or a inventor has an idea, but no capital to bring that idea to fruition. So they reach out to investors, offer up a share of that idea in exchange for cash. If the idea works, everyone wins. The person with the idea makes money, the investor makes money, and the public benefits from the value and benefit the idea brought. Now the idea can fail, and everyone loses the money but that is why it is risky to invest in stocks.
But what benefit does a short seller bring? I cant think of any. It really seems a short seller is just trying to make money, for themselves, by bad mouthing the company.
Would the stock market just always be in a bubble is short sellers did not exist? What value do they bring?
