I recconemd Matt Taibbi's books on the subject if anyone wants a deeper understanding of how short selling and technology can create avenues for abuse of the stock market.

I doubt it's rigged.

I am an Financial statement auditor and of course I see insider information daily, from dozens of Companies, as a part of my job.

Honestly, I know information beforehand, and the market doesn't always react as expected. I have never been tempted to act on insider information, not only because it is illegal, but because it's overrated.

Read Eric Scott Hunsader and his stuff with Nanex if you want to see the real manipulation but it requires a deep understanding of market structure.

Nothing inherently wrong with shorting and they've been doing it since the 1600s.

High frequency trading is the real problem.

Shorting itself isn't exceptionally bad. As with everything, it's the abuse of influence and money that make shorting very reprehensible in some cases. Technology outpacing laws and enforcement just exacerbate the issue of course.
