I could find herd behaviour in many stocks with no trouble at all. In fact, I can't just now think of any which haven't herded in a mindless stampede. That makes rich pickings for shorts who can get it right.

Oh, get real. Libelous? Cult? I can defend that use of the word. Unreasoning avid followers are cultists and there are plenty of avid followers there. Okay, I'm an Irwin Jacobs [of Q! fame, not the other one] cult member. But if you call me that, it's not libelous.
