Short Sellers Are a Useful Menace
The shock-and-awe tactics of activist short sellers cause mayhem for the companies being targeted and are driven by the lure of profit. But their criticism also helps police corporate behavior. The net impact on the market is typically positive. Take Gotham City Research LLC's dramatic assault on Grifols SA in January last year. The US hedge fund's diatribe against the Spanish healthcare company sent the target's shares down as much as 43%. Gotham is best known for its critical analysis of Gowex SA, a Spanish Wi-Fi firm that failed in 2014.
