Re: "Short selling" - OSC director interviewed on BNN Excerpt from BNN interview Oct 12-17....Kehoe said although short reports on companies can be difficult to deal with from a regulatory standpoint, theyre an important part of the market. Short selling by its very nature is not an evil. Short selling is a very useful tool, particularly in the context of whats called the efficient market thesis. Its all about price discovery, he said. Kehoe said its the so-called short and distort reports that are problematic for regulators. Were all struggling with the short-selling issues. The short and distort is a completely different animal. It uses social media, it uses some of the chat rooms to talk about these issues. There are challenges in the understandings of the new world of short sellers, he said. Short selling can be abusive, and where it is abusive, we will take action. --- https://www.bnn.ca/we-re-all-struggling-with-short-selling-osc-director-1.883181
