Stocks go up and down- there is no arguing that. I try to catch them on the way up. I, like many investors, are not in a position to short stocks.
Nor is there any dispute that there is probably more wrong than right and bloated excess in the markets. I try to avoid that long and short term.
But amr finds the wound, shares it with his "members", builds a substantial short position, and then they take their salt on parade. That would be coined a "pump and dump" if the shoe was on the other foot.
So no matter what credence there is to amr's calls, the real question is: If 2 college kids from CA with 15k and 40 aliases can pump a stock from .15 cents to $15 and net about 350k in a few days, what could 200 plus individuals times x aliases with millions in short positions do by trashing a stock all over the net?
