Shorts. Let’s see. If there are short pants there must be longs. Which is best? Longs or shorts?

If you are trading in the stock the stock market experts like longs better than shorts. If you are “long” that agency you have stock and that is “good”. If you are short you have got sold stock and that is “bad”. At least that is what Wall Street preaches. And why do they desire to make you believe this and is it true? Let’s analyze the facts.

Today Iodine hear narratives on the financial intelligence and there are articles in the paper that people who are “short” drive the market down. They have got sold more than stock than they have and this is causing the market to collapse. I even hear that United States Congress is trying to go through a law that volition not allow people to sell short. They are blaming hedge finances who are allowed to sell short. The basic flaw in this conception is when a short sale is initiated it must be done on an up tick. That agency the stock must be going up in order to do a “short” sale. No short sale may be made to coerce the market down. That is a fatal pin in the balloon of that lie.

There are grounds people will do the sale of a stock. If you have it you may just need the money now or if it is going down you may not desire to lose money should the downward tendency continue. There is on old expression in the market – “the tendency is your friend”. If you see a stock that is declining you may desire to sell it first and when it worsens additional you will purchase it back at a lower terms later on. This actually sets a flooring under that stock because some clip in the hereafters you MUST bargain it. Whoever is doing the shorting makes not matter whether it is an individual or a hedge fund. They are actually doing two things that are both good for the market. They are providing a hereafter bargain to back up the terms at a lower degree that maintains it from going lower and they are providing liquidness to the market.

When you purchase long you desire it to travel up so you can sell it later at a profit. When you sell short you sell it now with the thought of purchasing it back after it declines. Both are driven by the net income motive. How can one be good and the other bad? It is like saying there is good electricity and bad electricity.

If company CEOs don’t desire people to short their stock I suggest they look in the mirror to happen out who is at fault. The chief executive officer is not running his company properly and that is why the stock is declining. No outside individual or grouping can drive a stock lower that is making a good profit. There is a good ground for the terms decline.

Buying short makes not set the market down. The ultimate result of a short sale (covering the short) is very positive for the market.
