Henry, I agree with you on this one. I think the same 'mindset' that causes people to try to catch the 'momentum' plays causes them to jump on hype plays. Same thing - one lasts hours or days...the other lasts weeks and, occasionally, months. The unlimited loss/upside that shorts are alway hit with is a factor. If a a hypester can start a stampede, 2X...3X...is possible. What is possible from the short side? 100% max. There would have to be some major question marks on a company to get over 30%, IMHO. Theoretically, I suppose that manipulation is possible. In actuality, I am not so sure to what degree that it matters. For every person saying something, another can be found saying something else - it was that way before the Web and it will be that way when the Web evolves to something different. JMHO, lee
