Shorting is just one of the issues. The key issue is short-termism that in my view seriously damages western companies.

I agree - but surely efficient markets are important too?

Yes, but there should be a line drawn between attempt to manipulate market (materially affect price through actions) and normal market actions.

Say Soros was clearly affecting the market - he should have been put in maximum security jail for a long time as a warning to future generations that some things should not be done in the markets.
