At great career risk, I want to put in a good word on behalf of the research that short-seller firms conduct.
My career risk springs from the highly polarized environment that has prevailed in the aftermath of the GameStop Corp. saga, which has pitted small investors (the good guys) against short-selling hedge funds (the bad guys).
I’m not kidding. When three weeks ago I suggested that short-sellers are not all bad, and that they in fact have a role to play in a well-functioning market, I received more vitriolic email than I had in years.
