Floyd,

What I really like about columns such as these is these guys never seem to want to discuss the numerous number of SEC investigations that are conducted annually based on the information provided by the short seller who has that "special interest" in such an investigation.

Those poor maligned short sellers who got the SEC to investigate TASER and come up empty (at least in the investigation but the short seller made out handsomely). Travelzoo, Novastar, Allied Capital, Overstock, etc... all have had investigations initiated that yielded very little beyond the short seller profit.

According to this author RE: Pump and Dump's, "short sellers are the only market participants who are right there". Yea except when the short seller is wrong and it is not a pump and dump even when they claim it is. But will will dismiss those as just collateral damage.
