Eric on Letters from an American

[Eric]

I don't know much about the hedge funds involved in shorting Gamestop. As in any industry there are some top professionals and some bad apples in the Hedge Fund community. Hedge funds are still subject to laws on market manipulation. They have also been the focus of regulatory action and scrutiny on how they obtain information on investment opportunities which has led to strict oversight of expert networks etc. I think there is a real potential debate around the question of market manipulation where a well know short seller takes a position in a security and publishes the fact or publishes research to that effect. I have always found Muddy Waters a curious animal for example. They publish research on overpriced companies and take positions in those names.
