China so happy to see how easily, they can bribe top US officials to sell out the US for tens of millions. In turn, China earns tens of billions from the US economy, US jobs outsourced to China. Blame the US voters for the political bums they continue to re-elect into office, including those sending good paying US jobs to China. In the future, Americans will be slaves of the Chinese, working for them while, the Chinese continue to grow rich.
Growing up in the Cold War, it pains me to say Russia is now more free in some ways than the U.S. Never thought I'd say that.
And back when I traded Forex, you had to use certain Russian (or other international) brokers after Dodd-Frank if you wanted to hedge or use a certain amount of leverage. Dodd-Frank also messed up some real estate investors I know (seller financing or something), but did nothing to stop big banks and the Fed from their corruption. Typical "take it to the little guy" legislation.
After the Reddit/GME debacle I think it's fair enough for all parties to have the government crawl up their ass for any kind of wrongdoing. While pro short sellers have sometimes demonstrated their value, they also frequently try to manipulate the market by throwing nonsense on companies that end up wasting resources defending themselves.
A couple have already been mentioned. In addition, there were fewer overall COVID restrictions/mandates and you're less likely to get fired or completely cancelled for dissident but traditional views.
Not true.There is so much dishonesty and thievery among publicly traded companies why attack innocent companies? Furthermore can you show a record of innocent co's being attacked by short sellers?
