The Morality of Short Selling

Shorting a company called First Solar which had come up with a radical new way to manufacture solar cells was the least moral short ever. John let me finally come to the morality of short selling. And I want to read a couple of paragraphs from your March 2010 client letter when you shorted a company named First Solar. It was run by people who if they wanted to marry your daughter you would be thrilled. We don't short good companies normally. Partly I wrote it up because it was such a good company that I felt bad and I thought my client should know.
