There are a lot of misconceptions and ill informed people who are spreading false information about short selling. (side note: fraud exists in every facet of human experience.. fraudulent short sellers are no exceptions).
Positive examples of Short Selling in our economy.
1) Farmers needing to reduce risk. Imagine spending millions of dollars on seeds, equipment, and labor to grow crops only to discover on the day you were going to sell them, you were wiped out because prices collapsed.
The ability to go short and lock in future prices helps minimize this risk. Why? Well if you #DoTheMath and you can't sell your crops upon harvest at a price that covers your cost and you do it anyway then you were the one gambling by producing anyways if the market is telling you can buy in the future at a cheaper price than producing at your cost structure. It signal to people to stop expanding, there isn't enough demand.
2) Developers, Home Owners need to cut risk.
Imagine you were building a $100 million facility or $1 billion facility (airport, bridge, etc) or buying a home and you didn't know the interest rate at time of closing.
Well this doesn't happen because the lender goes "short" and agrees to lock in that rate for you. If they didn't do that and rates jumped 1% on a billion dollar project that could cost the developer $10 million more per year, possibly wiping out profits from the project or significantly hurting them.
3) The stock market or housing markets
Right now there are a shortage of short sellers. Why? It's extremely dangerous and hazardous to your wealth if you don't know what you are doing.
Many professionals don't go short because of Monday morning quarterbacking by some clients when speculation drives prices higher of stocks that were shorted. It's a very unloved, but necessary component of a properly functioning financial system. (Think about Past Frauds or Bubbles. Enron, Worldcom, Housing)
The problem with the Housing Crisis of 2008-2009 is that there weren't enough Short Sellers to stop or minimize the size of the bubble. So when it popped, it wiped out far more people than it had too; the most vulnerable and "chasers" in the bubble.
Short sellers signal what the upper limit of values might make most sense as they put capital on the line to express that view. If you disagree, you can take the other side of shorts.
Now if you do that in spite, not because you can make a sound case, then it is you that are the gambler, Not the Short Seller.

The GOP has been overrun by #TrojanDonkeys. They repeatedly change the rules to hang on to power. Don't believe me? Sign up to be a Precinct Committee person and see for yourself. The GOP has been become so bloated with so many rules and regulations used against True Republicans that building anew is the only true solution. Far too much energy and money will be wasted, not to mention compromising the most cherished Republican principles, to reform a crumbling infrastructure that kept building on sand the past 2 decades.
I have been thinking about possible solutions to truly built out a new political party for years. I agree that attempting a take over of an existing infrastructure looks appealing, but when that organization is bloated with rot and as sickly as a morbidly obese cancer stricken amoral character with a slew of other unsavory characters defending them... It really isn't worth saving or fighting for... Is it?
Not for me...I'll take my chances and Build an entirely new approach and see where it goes. I have no expectation other than designing it to seek and reward Truth (virtue) and penalize Vice (Corruptness).
Perhaps it will attract some of the 30-40 percent of Americans that don't view themselves as either Republicans or Democrats?

I started to calculate how much economic value is siphoned off by a lack of true privacy laws. These Big Tech companies have essentially legalized "insider trading" on people's personal data. Its very disturbing.

How are you feeling tonight?
Getting tired of watching your freedoms stolen from you, your family and your friends?
Getting tired of watching criminals stay out of jail and stay in government?
Getting tired of a “media” hiding the truth and spewing lies/propaganda?
Getting tired of worrying about your job?
Getting tired of being told to wear a mask and being told how far you can stand from other human beings?
Getting tired of sending your money overseas to be wasted or investing it for your future only to see it manipulated by strangers for their benefit to your loss?
Getting tired of your friends being terrorized and threatened by the FBI for simply attending peacefully a political assembly to support President Trump?
Getting tired of being threatened because you merely speak truth and exercise your First Amendment rights?
Getting tired of being told when and how you can worship God with your fellow believers?
I am.
I do NOT advocate and would never advocate violence. But I believe in non-violent civil disobedience urged and exercised by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I believe in the Power of The People.
My next post will discuss some lawful acts We The People must start undertaking now before we lose all of our freedoms.
It is time to once again reclaim our Bill of Rights. Every one of them.
Now more than ever, It is time to pray to Almighty God ask God to strike this evil down.
We The People will not go quietly in the night.
Lin 🙏❤️🇺🇸

What can we do non-violently within the law to fight back to reclaim our freedom?
1. Pray, pray, pray. Pray Psalms 35, 37, 140-145.
2. Tell your friends who think the election was legal to go get a mental health examination. They are the ones who are crazy or willfully ignorant.
3. Call a Communist a Communist. Do not be intimidated - exercise your free speech to the maximum extent allowed by law.
4. Make sure you do not buy anything made in China. When you a find a cell phone made in America, throw away your iPhone. In the meantime, do not spend a dime with Apple, Google, Amazon, Walmart, or other major companies who do business with the enemy. Cut off their money. Boycott them.
5. Write members of the military and tell them you love the fact that they will never dishonor their oath to defend the Constitution, freedom, and the People.
6. Injustice inflicted on one is injustice inflicted on all. Stand up for your fellow Patriots. If one is being mistreated or harassed for their belief in freedom and support of President Trump, flood the enemy with emails and voice mails with words supporting your fellow Patriot and decrying injustice. Stand up for your fellow Patriots. Let your voice be heard over and over again.
7. Turn off your television. Do NOT watch any mainstream media. None of their movies, comedies, game shows, or other meaningless mind junk.
8. Read books that tell you how to effectively battle Communism and lawfully resist a color revolution.
9. Don’t be afraid to wear a MAGA cap. The enemy is scared to death of them.
10. Consider selling your stocks before the enemy intentionally crashes the market to steal your money. 401(k)’s are worth $0 under communism. Buy precious metals and land.
More to follow.

11. Protect yourself, your family and your friends.
12. Organize your communities. Talk to the leaders in your church. Designate leaders in your community and meet regularly. Share truthful news. Take shelter in the Word of God and surround yourself with believers. Offer help to non-believers. Lead by example.
13. If your employer is a Communist or Communist sympathizer, find another job. There will be a Patriot who will help you with a job. For the short term, stock up on essentials and prepare to live a more frugal lifestyle. It will be short term pain but it sure beats the lifestyle under Communism.
14. Resist any “friend” or “leader” who urges capitulation to the enemy. Don’t tolerate being told to do something (or refrain from doing something) that in so doing you feel violates your basic human rights or the Bill of Rights. Follow the TRUTH of God. Do not cohort with the enemy.
15. Identify the enemy in federal, state, local government and flood their emails and voice mails with demands for freedom and recognition of your God-given rights.
16. If your friend does not care to stand up for freedom, find another friend who does. The former will end up being friends with the enemy. Do not fear rejecting such people. Freedom deserves better.
17. Spend as little money as possible. Cut off and limit the enemy’s receipt and use of sales tax.
18. After you organize your community, identify lawyers who are Patriots who will assist you when you lawfully and non-violently resist unconstitutional demands, such as wearing a mask or limiting the number of people in your home or your church. They cannot put us all in jail.
19. Stop waiting on others to protect your freedom. Make sacrifices yourself for liberty. It will be well worth it. If not for you, then for your children and your grandchildren and generations to come.
20. Talk to members of your community in person and form a plan for community unity and protection. Care for others more than yourself. Especially when it comes to standing up for freedom.
21. Love all and forgive all but always demand justice and righteousness.

Last thought for this evening:
I have quickly banged out some ideas for action tonight. We should all come up with more, refine them, and share them.
When you find a truth-giver online, tell all of your friends to listen, join, and share that person or his/her message with others. People long for TRUTH. Spread it far and wide. Never stop. Never quit.
USE YOUR COMMON SENSE AND THINK FOR YOURSELF.
Trust God. Wait on the Lord. Talk to Jesus in prayer and tell Him how you feel - He listens and He will answer.
God bless you.
Lin 🙏❤️🇺🇸

What a great list of suggestions. Even if you can't consider or attempt to do them all, even just partially participating in the list will have a significant impact if we all participate.
I am trying to do many of the items on this list and the longer I have, the better and clearer minded I think/feel.
We are all Children of God and Individual Sovereigns. We have been degraded, misled, pitted against each other and manipulated to remain enslaved in varying degrees.
It's time to sever the invisible chains and Make Ourselves Great Again. For our God, Our Nation, Our Communities, Our Friends, and Our Families will ALL Follow our Individual Light(s) and join in to Create Heaven on Earth.
God Bless you All, God Bless Lin for sharing this list and May God Continue to Bless Our Great United States of America. Peace be With You!

I agree that no one is above the Lord, the Way and the Truth, but as we are made in the image of God, we are also made to be individually Free.
God's test to all of us is to see if want to be in Communion with our God as the Individual Sovereigns God has always intended us to be.

The Cancel Culture is an attempt by very Evil forces to have us "Give Up" on those around us that have turned away from God.
It is a brilliant ploy to convince us to give up an increasing amount of territory as they gather more lost souls.
We must fight this urge for we all know we are guilty of sins and trespasses and yet God's love for us never waivers.
We must use judgement and recognize the pyschological attacks that they wage upon us while at the same time praying, reflecting and acting to shine a light into the darkness they are hoping to create with the evil words and thoughts they espouse that sow evil deeds.
We need to #EndCancelCulture and Bless them instead (publicly if you can handle it), pray for them and wish they find the same Peace that all children of God deserve.
The angrier they get when you do this the more you'll be able to tell that the Truth is helping set them free.

I look at this quote Daily and think about the Courage, Perseverance, and Faith in God of one of more Most Important American Ancestors, Martin Luther King, Jr. It inspires me to stay focused and never lose sight of this TRUTH!
I am being drastically censored on Most Social Media Platforms with my impressions plummeting from over 100 million on twitter in a month to 80-90% declines on Facebook and Linkedin.

I am being labeled Spam and Dangerous by a Leading Email provider (personally and professionally, check your spam folder if you ever expect emails from me) and have had odd attacks on my methods of communications overall.
I've learned that for the first time in my career of over 25 years, I have an inquiry by a Government Agency that oversees my industry.
It's all a bit funny and disturbing at the same time.
Unless stated otherwise, I do my own Research from Source Materials or go check the Source Materials of posts that I find intriguing and /or worth sharing. I have taken this approach my entire career professionally and now use those same techniques when I investigate "other topics" to share findings. It's not garnering the respect of some individuals among us.
I will continue to do all I can to do my small part in restoring our Constitutional Republic. We all should do what we can with what we have and never take our eye off the prizes of why we are doing this... For Our God, Our Nation, Our Family, Our Friends, and Ourselves.
May God Bless You and Peace Remain With You!

President Trump is the Greatest President in the History of the United States (yes, he really is). A few Highlights compared to Past Presidents:
3) Ended over $3 Trillion worth of subsidies to Europe over the next 25 years ($100 billion+ per year we were sending to "Protect Europe") This works out to over $625 a year for Each of the 160 million Taxpayers in this Nation. (Washington)
4) Addressed the Damage and Carnage of the HORRIFIC Society Program instituted by LBJ - Over 7,000 Free Enterprise Zones in areas across this Nation ravaged by Social Engineering by the Democrats
