mrcjmoney: I'm just stating my views on short-selling, not asking you to substantiate yours. Please don't feel you have to curtail your posts here!

If enough people believe short sellers are more apt to be right than wrong, and if those people act on that belief, maybe there's something self-fulfilling going on that will/can/might drive such stocks lower and keep them low.

I've gotten beat-up by buying into positions where there's been lots of short-selling. Sometimes though, I've captured nice gains by doing this. In such times, either the shorts were wrong about an issue or the shorts were right (and made themselves money), but I caught the stock in a recovery phase as the company problem or external event ceased to be an issue.
