They should not short sell in the first place! It is not constructive financial tool (in the case of stock market, in commodity exchanges it is completely different story). Doesn't build, but ruins businesses. If somebody thinks company is bad business or eventually it will collapse should not buy their stocks. But if you short sale their stocks, that is evil! You are causing collapse of the company in shorter time. Hedge fund managers get what they deserved for and they were punished..

Absolutely.

Yet they all do it, "google v nation state's" is like asking "how do we stop ourselves?".

And I've got a fucking pension, that I'm currently trying to liquidate...
