We study the linearised stability of the nakedly singular negative massSchwarzschild solution against gravitational perturbations. There is a oneparameter family of possible boundary conditions at the singularity. We give aprecise criterion for stability depending on the boundary condition. We showthat one particular boundary condition is physically preferred and show thatthe spacetime is stable with this boundary condition.Comment: 20 pages. 5 figure
