Super funds lending shares to short sellers !
Mar 17th, 2020 at 3:25pm
 
A write up in todays Australian saying that Uni Super is going to stop lending shares to short sellers because it is having adverse effects on the market and its share portfolio !! Talking about shooting yourself in the foot, what on earth are these super funds thinking when they bet against themselves for some extra income. What a bunch of losers losing other peoples hard earned money Sad

There is massive short selling in all major stock markets..

Some say that they are deliberately crashing the markets...

They were allowing your shares to be shorted whilst sitting on their big fat arses watching your retirement savings fall off a cliff and some how that is perfectly acceptable to these dumbarse pollies !!

Now you know why the pollies don't use the private super scammers and just steal theirs from theb tax payers Wink
