I don’t want to complain about the current price; it’s more of a bewilderment at how governments always claim they want to protect investors by passing questionable laws (while in reality, their legislation only creates more obstacles for investors) and then pat themselves on the back for it. Meanwhile, they increasingly accommodate manipulators, turn a blind eye, and pretend that short sellers don’t exist.
It’s just like being self-employed, like me, or an ordinary worker. They keep piling on more taxes, treating you as if achieving something through your own effort and becoming wealthy is a crime! “Oh, you made $5 million with your company and could become financially independent? Hand over the money!” Yet, on the other hand, you see all these criminals using their tricks, driving flashy cars, buying mansions, and being well-known for their scams, but nothing is done about them. They laugh their heads off while the hardworking people keep paying up. And heaven forbid you’re ever late with a payment to the tax office… you know how that goes. Not that you don’t already know.
In any case, I see short sellers on the same level as these criminals. They make a profit from something that doesn’t even belong to them. It’s like walking into a Ferrari dealership, taking $250,000 from a customer without being a salesperson, and the customer gets no car for their money. But hey, here we are.
