BlueFox, I'm surprised at you. You don't think that there's a Jon Tara, Other Chap, or even a Fred type on every stock discussion thread going? Come on, now! It's not just SI.
Sure there is, but you can't blame any individual for the stocks price, just as we can't blame the February hypsters on this thread for the incredible rise in price back then. If one individual could control the price, you could count on a price drop for ever Tara message, and a price increase for each of yours :)
It's beginning to sound like we're preparing to visit the "grand anti-ZULU conspiracy" theory again, with former disgruntled employees convincing Wired to write articles to help a network of shorters that are bashing the stock on various threads. A complicated answer for the price, and thus not too likely. The simple answer is the stock is down because the market in general isn't buying much until there's more to go on. Individuals on SI threads have little effect on the price of the stock.
sprinkling of flippant doubts tossed in here, more flippant doubts tossed in there;
The flippant remarks come from both side of the table. At least here on SI, there's usually some research done. When compared to Yahoo where the anonymity lets anyone post "their uncle's neighbour works at a law firm who's competitor is doing a deal for ZULU, and the news is coming out tomorrow (sorry can't give you more details, it would be illegal)" or "just picked up another 1/2 billion shares - at this price they're a steal - news out tomorrow", SI is great. I guess you get what you pay for. |
