Fine if those Short Selling had to commit to a specified time period when doing their deed. If they druely believe a stock is over valued they would not have a problem staying short for specified time frames.

The Venture Exchange is suspose to be for companies that are seeking to establish themselves with the aid of publically raised private capital. An incubator for Baby Companies, if you will.

The Exchange claims to provide the environment to do just that. But the Exchange also seems to want the Privateer mantality operate within the incubator, where the Privateers are creatures with marauding parasitic manners. If only it was just pure plain old "Survival of the Fittest" within the incubator as opposed to "Survive so the Privateers can Feast as you try growing". The Exchange allows the Privateers to scare away MANY other wise interested Skippers who dear NOT traverse these Pirate infested waters.

What is the Exchange doing for the companies it claims to be providing sound regulated public access to? Are they saying, enter at your peril, but please enter.
