Don't care what anyone says

Shorting is stealing from retailers - FIN.

Not saying it isnt a part of the market, not saying people shouldn't, just saying that I have morals and as much as I want to be wealthy I also want others to.

I can make my gains without runing someone else's :)

brentkosta; How is this ignorant? As I demonstrated, it's not a symbiotic relationship.

Interesting way of putting it Brent.....I hadn't thought of it that way.  Obviously I don't have an issue with short selling, its part of the game....but I would imagine that some will argue the bank shouldn't be allowed to invest in ways that will have a negative impact on the value of your cash.....and that's what they did during the housing bubble by investing in mortgage

Good point Brent. Kudos. I just didn't look at it that way as my deposit is always guaranteed and protected by third party insurance to I think $100,000.00. Also the banks actions of lending are designed to look after my interests while the brokerage lending of my shares are designed  directly against my interests. In addition,  I deposited my money in the bank with common sense

Yes, CDIC....Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation, its why some people won't deposit more than $100K in any single institution.
