It is good to have the ability to “bet” that the stock will go down as it balances out the positive and negative of stock market moves. It helps give some stability to the markets and is a good indicator of what may happen in the future. Should there be regulations in how that bet is done and the volume of it - sure - but to out right remove it I think would be a bad idea.

I’m sorry—it’s absolutely contrary to what the word “investment” even means. That people can bet against the economy is an absolute outrage and it needs to be stopped.
