I include shorters because they most often are the BIGGEST bashers, just like the phony big shot shorter Whitney Tilson. Read up on the details of the no-better-then criminal BS allegations he helped hammer Lumber Liquidators with. King of the bashers.

If you short sell, you want the price to erode so you can cover your call nice and cheap. That's how a shorter makes money in case you weren't sure, and the slimy variety helps the price lower with BASHING.
