C. Startup funding is generally only accessible to “sophisticated” investors. They are the ones that enjoy the explosive growth that can happen in the early days.

I never understood the early morning trading window. Hedge funds can trade for, what, 30 minutes before anyone else?

You have completely misunderstood, and you have embarrassed yourself.

Darkheartisland is not saying that the markets arent manipulated or that the bailouts are fairly distributed.

They are saying that the reason short selling exists is because people are free to enter into contracts of their own choosing.
