There have been a lot of discussions regarding the ethics of short selling. Even one Congressman ordered the SEC to investigate the effect short selling has had on the stock market after the terrorist attack. However, it appears the SEC will phase in eliminating the"up-tick" rule. I obviously have a biased viewpoint, but the following quote from Barnard Baruch sums up the debate better than anything I have read:

Bears can make money only if the bulls push up stocks to where they are overpriced and unsound.

Bulls always have been more popular than bears in this country because optimism is so strong a part of our heritage. Still, over-optimism is capable of doing more damage than pessimism since caution tends to be thrown aside.

To enjoy the advantages of a free market, one must have both buyers and sellers, both bulls and bears. A market without bears would be like a nation without a free press. There would be no one to criticize and restrain the false optimism that always leads to disaster.
