And people don't, if a short seller says something
oh, that idiot, they're biased.
Instead of, wait, okay, what is this person saying?
Does it make sense?
Should I think about this?
And you should think about the reality is you should think about everything.
Think about every piece of information, if only then to say, I understand this point of view, but I don't agree with it.
But you should have a...
intellectually grounded means of dismissing points of view that you don't like, not just a reactionary one.
And I worry about the reactionary tendency in the market.
And by the way, I see it from professional investors, too.
Nobody likes to be told that something that they believe in may not be worthy of the belief.
I think it makes it more chaotic.
I don't think it necessarily makes it more efficient because there's just this reaction and it can be totally outsized and it doesn't do a lot to sort out what truth is.
But, you know, the market has never really been efficient in that way that that people think.
And I think about there's Enron, for instance.
The skepticism was out there.
A lot of big, smart hedge funds were short Enron for years before its collapse.
And of course, they weren't putting out there.
There wasn't a vehicle in which they could disseminate their point of view.
