Abolish all Short Sells, and Prevent Market Manipulations

Short Sells and Naked Short Sells

SHARES are used for allowing the formation of capital with limited shareholder liabilities so that corporations can be formed and expand business. The purpose of shares are 1) shareholder immunity from ristk, 2) formation of capital, and 3) to expand business. One can buy and sell shares, and the price of the shares comes from that buying and selling shares. Puts and Calls can be used in shares for hedging.

There is ABSOLUTELY no justification for short sells or naked short sells, as both are inherently fraudulent, selling something you dont own. short sells and naked short sell serve TO DESTROY market value and corporations' ability to fund operation, completely INCONSISTENT with the whole reason for having shares in the first place. The only justification, is freedom on contract, and that includes OTC derivatives, but freedom of contract is limited in scope, just as voiding contracts for murder. The use of short sells and naked short selling SHOULD BE OUTLAWED as contrary to public policy and the rationale for shares in the first place. There remains plenty of tools necessary for those who wish to invest in the growth of corporations, the goal of shares. Some may like them, use them successfully, and I am sure are useful tools, but the tempetation to use concentrated short selling to destroy corporations for personal greed is just to high, in my view. Commodities futures are another story. Here, short selling is necessary. Naked short selling is NOT.

I proposed that re futures, transparency laws should be enacted such that over a percentage of all shorts outstanding, say 5%, the entity must disclose its concentrated short position, JUST LIKE IN SHARES, and that may be enough to crub criminal prima-facie manipulative short concentration in the commodity furtures.
