Subject: naysayers
Riley,
There is an excellent article in the October issue of Forbes/ASAP on about page 104 regarding the use of the internet by shorters to drive down stock prices. The articly describes in eerie fashion a parallel of events happening in OVIS. Apparently, what is happening at OVIS is standard procedure for shorters/naysayers.
The naysayers do what they do because it works.
My reading of the article indicates that the best course of action is for vigilant and informed people (ovis shareholders who have done the dd and reseach to continuously respond to slander with factual information, while avoiding getting dragged into fights, arguments and speculation. This will help new investors see what is going on, who is credible and who isn't.
Many humor the naysayers, or think they are just grouchy, amusing themselves, jealous. NO. People do things for reasons. It is a fact of life. The people bashing your stock are bashing it so that you will lose money and they will make money. Even if I am wrong about the naysayers being in cahoots with MMs, it still works out that since psychological factors affect stock prices, these people are hurting you by plying misinformation.
My all time favorite post was the one implying that hand and hand are in cahoots with ovis, and that the fake news was all part of a grand conspiracy to make it look like ovis was under attack even though they secretly aren't. - Using this logic, my new theory is that Kugler, Aloha, McNeese et al. are actually long in OVIS, and post negatively, knowing that the effect of their bad mouthing OVIS will have a reverse psychological effect and drive up the price so they can cash out rich with their expensive OVIS. makes sense, right?
It is not libel to post a reasoned opinion (an opinion that actually has some kind of conclusion based on fact) - my concluded opinion is that naysayers logically must have some interest in making OVIS look bad. This leads me to conclude that they are deceptive manipulators (read "liars"). Just my opinion.
