Abstract
Equity short sellers face a risk that an acquirer - called here the "game-ending greater fool" - will acquire the short target at a premium to the short price even if the short seller is correct about overvaluation. If short sellers account for this risk, even partially, then prices may be too high even in markets that allow unrestricted short selling.
