Loading ...Shorting doesn’t bother me … as long as it’s not “naked shorting” where no shares are borrowed to be sold into the market. It’s just ridiculous that some companies have 140% of their shares short. It’s great that those shorters are now being punished.
As far as I know if you are short a stock you are responsible for paying out the dividends to the person who’s stock was borrowed. That’s why dividend paying stocks are somewhat protected from the shorters.
