I heard in the news that Aramco will be taking themselves public? Wondering how will the company carry out the OPEC political commitments and still maximize value for stockholders?

Short selling is another matter altogether. List baby list!
I'm a current employee and I don't think I willl buy the stock unless it is offered to employees at a steep discount. I'm not yet convinced the stock will do well after initial sale...
There is zero possibility that taking Aramco public to raise money for a Saudi public fund to invest somewhere else in something else produces value for Aramco shareholders. If Aramco was a good investment then cash raised from IPO would invest in growing the company. It will not.
With that said only an idiot would sell holdings to put his cash in a Saudi welfare fund for benefit of Saudis only so that fund can buy the outside holdings that the idiot who bought Aramco shares sold to invest.
