MaryinRed: How is this for a definition of front running.

- Self proclaimed Guru establishes a private pay for web site, say around $600 per month for membership
- Guru takes positions on that sight with only the small group of payees in the know
- The guru then goes on SI and announces the short position on thread he/she created after allowing time for him/herself and the payees of his/her private site to take positions
- The guru and payees of private site then go to the SI Thread for the stock that has been shorted and begin to bad mouth the company and insult, harass and threaten SI members that have long positions

Is that front running in you book MaryinRed?

Regards,
LG
