"The share price today represents exactly what sellers agree to accept for a share, and buyers are willing to pay."
It does bother me if there is a naked shorter. Period! This is counterfeiting and against most regulations.
I haven't sold one share, in fact I have bought more, but I will never like being the victim or beneficiary of nefarious acts.
Free markets do not exist, and it is a free market that I long for. Let me live of die on my own merits not stabbed in the back by an unknown stranger with a get out of jail free card.
