Hey /biz/raelis I got a question about shorting for ya. Ya know that shit with CNN? Well Im sure you are all aware about the pending time warner merger and that CNN's upper were kvetching about losing their jobs once the merger is complete.
So Im thinking this whole CNN suicidal pr incident may be purposeful and that it is quite fucking possible that it was all planned so that they could short time warner, crash its value, kike over the entire merger and make themselves a tidy profit.
Is there any way to prove this theory? Is shorting regulated similar to regular trading, as in major holders need to disclose? If not, is there any way for detective work to turn up answers on that?
