RE:Short Selling = Share Printing = Manipulation = more waysI believe that is incorrect. They aren't printing any shares - they are loaning out existing ones. An analogy I'd use is if you go to the bank, your money/cash is not there - they have lent it out to a home or car owner as they always did. They only have a fraction of the cash they have on deposit in theory (reserve banking system).
I believe this is a valid comparison but I stand to be corrected.
