Patrick, I did not say that all shorts are unethical nor work in tandem, but it is rather obvious what has been going on here on this thread.
Personally, I don't care what people say one way or another about Tava nor any other stock. Ultimately, I invest based on my own research. What I do care about, however, is what I consider to be grossly unethical conduct perpetrated by these individuals.
Now mind you, I also detest the opposite kind of behavior, e.g., where someone who has developed a "following" of sorts on bulletin boards claims that s/he is about to post a hot stock tip -- never before the market opens, of course -- and then loads up on that stock (or loaded up before the previous day's close). As his/her "sheep" feverishly gobble up shares of the designated stock, the "shepherd" cashes out and walks away with a nice profit. It's the electronic equivalent of a pyramid scheme, only more people end up losing in the end.
In either case referenced above, some no doubt would argue that those who succumb to such deceptive conduct deserve what they get. I don't subscribe to that rationalization.
Well, time to get off of soapbox once more and back to writing Y2K talking points for the September session of the International Information Infrastructure Congress session. Or as Wexler would say, co-conspirators in the Y2K hoax. [Look for this last comment to be misused somewhere by Old Bill to accuse me of being involved in a conspiracy ].
