i guess the aol rumor mill is closed for the holidays..
such nice people there wishing to castrate people that short..
apparently they feel that the lack of buying is because people that short don't ever go long...
every short is a buyer.. even @ 1 cent..
it is like the old expression..if i loan you money.. i will never be broke..
or he sells what isn't his'n buys it back or goes to prison..
shorting is viewed as bullish..
look at oxhp..
it fell from hi 70s to 31 then to 26s up to thirty and when shorts covered there was much less buying pressure and the stock fell to teens..
that "bubble" was the time where longs got to save money and sell to the longs.. as shorts left there were less people willing to go long.. thus a sudden drop in price..
but hey to simply believe the hype and go long and pray for someone else's pain.. that is wrong...
i at least explain myself and let people know why i am doing something... long or short..
regards taxi
