AG I'd agree with the jist of the article that companies that devote excessive efforts to combating short sellers often tend to be empty promotes. But these are usually confirmatory indications - the whip cream on top of lousy fundamentals -0 earnings, just promises instead of a real business, aggressive accounting. The closest thing we have to a fundamental issue is the Bulgaria controversy. But the bottom line there is that the risk is disclosed in the filings as a contingency and the share price more than discounts a negative outcome. In taking the combative style of AREM management to be 'evidence' of a pervasive fraud, shorts may have missed the potential for cultural differences affect responses. I've looked at a lot of potential shorts and this just makes no sense from a risk-reward perspective. I'd sooner hunt bears with a switch.
