Sign the Petition Make short selling of shares illegal This might make an interesting discussion. TBH I’m on the fence. I see it very much as people should be entitled to either invest their money in a company, in the expectation of it doing well, or if yo…

I’d rather sign a petition banning PFOF (payment for order flow), which created conflicts of interest directly. Not all short-sellers are evil. Oftentimes short sellers like Jim Chanos or Michael Burry expose fraudulent companies (or flaws in the system) that would cost society and us - retail inve…

please remember to update us on the topic once the petition inevitably fizzles out with little impact.

From the link in the OP: Short selling is already illegal in Germany, who pushed for a Euro wide ban in 2011. Fact checking: Short selling isn’t illegal in Germany. Only naked short selling was announced in 2010 , during Euro Sovereign Debt Crisis: (Reuters) - Germany has announced a ban with…

I have no objection to short selling. Short positions are usually quite low and if there is enough buying power then any impact is usually minimal. I suppose it does depend on what you buy. I’ve held rubbish AIM shares that are subject to shorting. At the time I would scream that it was manipula…
