Funniest reasons to explain a stock collapse.
Many of us have posted on other threads about our decision to short a stock, only to get a barrage of insults and taunts from the touts and cheerleaders. It starts to get really funny when the stock begins to collapse and the hypers try to explain the reason for the fall (always seeming to miss the obvious reasons, e.g. no revenues, huge losses, crappy management, etc. etc. etc.). Here are some of the more amusing theories I've seen:
1) Short sellers are trying to drive the price down so they can pick up shares cheaper.
2) Management wants the price lower so they can scoop some up.
3) The stock is moving from weak hands to strong hands.
4) Normal profit taking before the next big move up.
5) MMs are driving the price down so they can get shares cheap.
6) Short seller nega-hype.
7) Stock is filling gap.
Here are some of the funny threats I've seen:
1) Here comes the short squeeeeeeeeze!!!!
2) You better watch what you say, you could get sued.
3) If you have nothing good to say about this stock, then get off this thread.
4) Where are your facts to back up your claims?
5) Go ahead and short more, I'll see you at [some much higher price] in [some absurdly short time span].
6) You work for Asensio, Asholio, Arsenio, Acencio, Assinio, etc.
7) You're Asensio's butt-boy.
8) You ARE Asensio.
Any others out there? |
