"Companies that engaged in these activities tended to see their stock prices suffer considerably afterwards--on average, such companies experienced a 42% underperformance against the market in the 3 years following their challenging instance. One hypothesis that accounts for this behavior is that short sellers are largely correct in their assessment about a company's prospects, at least in cases where management challenges the short sellers vigorously.1" srv3.polls.scd.yahoo.com 1 Lamont, Owen, "Go Down Fighting: Short Sellers vs. Firms." Working Paper, University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, January 2003. Lamont recounts an incident where a short seller was shouted down at a shareholder meeting by management resorting to a "prolonged and very loud coughing fit." Another incident involved reported death threats against short sellers (p. 17). gsb-www.uchicago.edu
