That debt, acquisition and paying of employees is fraud. You are just pushing the risk onto those other entities with poor price discovery.

Am I correct in reading that you think stock based acquisitions or employee compensation is all fraud?

If it exists in a market with illegalized downside pressure.

The sentiment that shorting isn’t necessary is particularly pernicious in the places where companies trade cash compensation for stock.

Employee long positions derived from stock grants are already boosts to the optimistic view of a company.

If there is no short position to determine fair pricing companies can use their already outsized advantage to take advantage of workers.
