Good post Steve. It is useful to have some at least theories as to these folk's real agendas just to keep the 'noise' in perspective. The interesting ones are those who obviously have triple digit IQ's yet put out so much energy in what seems to be a pointless, wheel spinning exercise in service of little or no apparent self-interest (unlikely). Respecting #1, I can't see how these people could justify the energy they expend by the little they could make shorting the stock. Besides how much influence do they really have? I personally wonder how many of them operate on SI with several aliases and identities thereby disguising their rather more complicated investment strategies (and attempted manipulations) in the tel sector. This would at least help to account for the inordinate time and energy expenditure and the discipline. Likewise #2 makes some sense. Pretty sad comment on the company that has to resort to that kind of dirty under the table dealing. What do we think there chances are in the long run? This would help to explain how thick skinned and evasive their shills are in the face of confrontations respecting their agenda. #3 seems unlikely. A person driven by those feelings would sooner or later reveal them. The people we are talking about are, if nothing else, very adept at staying on message. Your 4th (legitimate investors) category takes me back to the multiple identity, stock manipulation scenerio in which they do take long and/or short positions but keep their posts respecting different stocks separated via different aliases. That seems to me the only way to classify these folks as rational. Notwithstanding and even if they are operating such a manipulative scamario, I think you are right that they also just do not have much of a life. Good luck to them. Watch them disappear after the next bg run. Cheers, dog
