>>long/short and buy/ask gamesmanship going on

This is a total red-herring in my view. Stocks go down (aside from general sector moves) because people are skeptical of the company and they go up when people think the company will do better than others believe.

The concept that there are these wicked shorts and market makers out there manipulating the stock is just bulletin-board material. Shorts, by and large, are more sophisticated than longs - if there is a big short position in a stock, that's a warning sign not a good thing.
