No offense Dave but if you have done great dd on a company the bashers should be easy to refute. That was the point of my post. I have had stocks get attacked and go down. And I will tell you from very bitter experience that the stocks that were attacked and did go down almost always turned out to have problems that the pro poster did not uncover in their due diligence. I've also been in stocks that had sound fundamentals and the bashers failed to gain a foothold. I am a big non-believer in conspiracy theories. Most of the stocks that people claim to be the victims of bashers turn out to have been more hope than reality in the first place.

I don't know any of the stocks you mentioned. But my strong inclination is to suspect that there were in fact fundamental reasons the stock performed poorly. Shorters have no reason to attack healthy companies, there are so many sickly stocks that make easier targets.

Also for what it is worth I find it curious how often market makers appear as villains in short seller scenarios. Market makers could make a lot more money in a stock that is soaring than it one tanking. They have no motivation to destroy a company. The only realistic complaint about market makers is the width of their spreads. But that is part of the price you pay for dealing in thinly traded BB stocks. FWIW I know a little about how market makers operate. I am a market maker. Not in equities but in currencies and interest rate derivatives.
