OK! Gotcha now!
I stand by that posting, and I think a lot of people will
empathise with it, and others will perhaps get a better feel
for the ETERNAL conflict between the two positions i.e. Long
versus Short!!!
The real PRO SHORT puts his money on the line, and I think a
lot of people would have a lot of respect for the GAMBLE this
sometimes is, however grudgingly at first, which I must say I
was until I got a better understanding of their position!!
But a WEAK share like FCM, with no performance to speak of, and
based on a gamble by us that they have a product that will make
it big with future profits to boot, is SOMETIMES infiltrated by
the VIRUS of WOULD BE shorts, who put no money on the line, (i.e.
dont risk selling short) and adopt SHORT tactics on threads like
here and RBULL, in the hope of using behaviour likely to cause
a breach of the peace, as was evidenced by one shareholder on
Raging Bull yesterday, who admitted he'd had enough, could'nt
take any more, sold his shares, played into the AMATEUR shorts'
hands, and said goodbye to the thread!!!
Shorts, if that's what you could call them, bashing a share down,
by any means allowed, when the company is weak, in the hope of becoming LONGS at a price that suits their pocket!!!
Dont tell me this does'nt happen, it does, and sooner or later,
the company shows the strength to overcome it, or it does'nt!!
