LBRT was victim of a hedge fund short attack friday pm.
this was the 2nd stock of mine this week which got hit
by similar tactics. Bear Sterns hit Valence (vlnc)
with a massive short attack on wednesday. They are in
a deal with lawyers for shareholders lawsuit and were
hedging against 950,000 shares.

Check the yahoo lbrt thread - WIND (LBRT partner),
AFCI, PWAV, RSAS also dropped 10% suddenly from 3:30
friday. I'm sure that a hedge fund had some kind of bet
(eg against a fund which holds them) based on 1st quarter
results, and had enough money in it to launch a short
attack in the last 1/2 hour of trading Friday.

this may sound crazy but it happens. check posts on vlnc
thread on SI (eg. rwolf, p klemencic). about the short
attack on vlnc. we know this is what happened.

re my reason for conclusion on lbrt, it's too much to be
coincidence. also no coincidence it was 3/31.
Compare the action on friday for the stocks mentioned
above using bigcharts. this is no coincidence - very
clear evidence of a coordinated short attack against these
stocks. somebody made a lot of money by doing this.
