Short selling is gambling sanctioned by the United States Government and it should be banned. The stock market should be returned to an institution where the public can simply purchase a share of a company because they believe in the product, the management, and/or the brand of that company, without fear of insiders borrowing enormous quantities of shares and betting against a company for their own personal gain, rather than for the good of the company in which they own shares.
