as i was running my search of unusual volume stocks and looking for any with large short positions i came across one stock on the list,
TR.
when i looked for a short position on this stock TR, and i saw who they were, a funny thought swept across my mind. there were 56,000
shares sold short in tr, small by any standards. heres the funny thought i had who, who in their right mind decides to short this company. what kind of person would short a happy little company like tr. what goes through their head when they open a short position on a stock like this.
what joy could come from making money shorting this company. what kind of person would even bother. then i read your posts on this thread and the exact same questions came to mind about all your posts here. WHY? What kind of person does this. the same kind of person that shorts a company like TR. they just dont want anyone else to have any joy in life. oh by the way here is who TR is.
