Another Valuable Role for Short Sellers

With true investigative journalists suffering from job cutbacks and claims of political bias, we have another source of truth telling, the short seller.  A short seller tested the clothing make by Lululemon Athletica and found that, contrary to its claim, it was not made our of "seaweed."  He toke a short position in the stock and released his study.  The New York Times picked up the study, did one of its own, and wrote a confirming story.  So now the NYT reports are watching clever short sellers for good information.
