Short-selling of stocks, which is currently legal, or worse, naked short-selling of stocks, which is currently illegal, are fictions created by elitist criminal minds that have been foisted on the markets so the elitists can make profits at will by killing any stock, at any time, for any reason (usually for profit, but sometimes for simple revenge). The reason given for the short-selling of stocks is to provide a means whereby overpriced stocks can be ratted out and fairer stock valuations for the benefit of the investing public can be produced. But this is just a ruse. It is a scam to justify rampant and otherwise illegal manipulations of stock prices for the personal gain of the scamsters. By allowing stock to be borrowed, and then sold for full market value by someone other than the title owner, you are allowing the creation of stock out of thin air, which can then be used to run down the price of the stock ad infinitum. Normally, you can only sell as much stock as you own. After that, you would have to buy more stock, thus driving the price back up, before you could start selling again. Thus, short-selling, and especially naked short-selling, are both morally wrong and legally unfounded. These short-sale scams are made possible by the anonymous ownership of stock, and often this anonymity allows the perpetration of many illegal manipulations, such as where the same stock is borrowed from the same person over and over again by different borrowers in a manner that is difficult to trace. The anonymous ownership of stock in publicly traded companies is another Illuminist scam which allows them to manipulate stock transactions while making it difficult, if not impossible, to pin the blame for any illegal manipulation on a specific trader. Stock ownership in publicly traded companies should be made public like real estate and cars, and only shareholders of record should be able to sell their shares. This is the only way stock markets can be made fair. Otherwise, to allow the sale of an infinite number of shares in any company paves the way for insider trading, for the floating of vicious and patently false rumors and for all kinds of other malicious mischief, including the corrupt elimination of competition by enabling scamsters to ambush companies that compete with their own.

Adding to the criminality of short-selling is the SEC. For some time now they have not investigated or taken action against naked short-sellers, even though naked short-selling is blatantly illegal. With naked short-selling, stock is created out of thin air without even the fiction of being borrowed from a true owner before being sold, as in regular short-selling. As an aside, even regular short-selling should be illegal.

This is because regular short-selling, even where the same stock is not borrowed from the same person multiple times by different borrowers, allows the literal doubling of outstanding, authorized shares in public companies without SEC approval. Normally, you would go to jail for selling unauthorized, unapproved stock in a public company. But not short-sellers, who get to stand in the shoes of both regulators and investment banks simultaneously. Regular short-selling should be illegal because as we said, selling borrowed property for full value has no basis in law. ..................
