Shorts and the use of Message Boards :Credit for post to skidiver3

Do you even know how "shorts" work ? They bet that a stock will go
down,just like you bet a stock will go up.Now a year ago when I
asked broker friends of mine if the internet message boards will have
any affect on a stock.They ALL laughed at me and said those idiots
having an affect on a stock !
Well I asked those same friends this last week-and the answer from
all YES! message boards and "shorts"(some) can manipulate with
lies, BS, and deceit.Let me tell you what I have seen on two different
boards .

One stock was $8 and a "pack" of shorts come on and posted total
lies about SEC violations,and "class action lawsuits".There was 15-20
of these manipulating "shorts".The stock went from $8 to $6 overnight
without cause -just these manipulating "packs" posting total lies and
BS.

Another board I had seen about 15 months ago had a bunch of
"regulars" on the board.Problem was these "regulars" were the nicest
bunch of mostly elderly people you would want to know and talk
with.The stock was about $18 and then came "the pack" of
shorts.There were again 15-20 of them.They got the elderly so
scared that they would not fight and just stopped posting.Thus leaving
the board totally to these manipulating "shorts".
The stock went from $18 to $10 without reason just lies posted by
these liars.Do you understand a little now? Let me say this to you and
i want you and the whole board to think about this statement.

IT IS EASIER TO SCARE PEOPLE INTO SELLING THAN IT IS
TO SCARE PEOPLE INTO BUYING A STOCK.

Now think about that,you have elderly that invest and find their way
to the message boards only to see false posts about "SEC Violations"
and "Class action suits" or you have a Yuppie with a kid to put in
college going to these message boards only to see posts by 15-20
(probably 5 or 6 under alias)"pack of shorts" posting the same false
stuff about SEC Violations or lawsuits or "there's bad news coming
out" ....what do you think they will do ?

Let me ask you people who don't like my attacking back
ways,language etc... Do you think for that elderly person and that
Yuppie with the college kid -that it would be easier to take the money
out of the stock with these rumors and put the money back into the
bank? Another question :do you think it is easier to take money out of
the bank and invest it into stock....or easier to take the money out of the stock and put it back into a safe bank ?

It's easier to sell the stock and put the money into the bank for
nervous people like the elderly and the Yuppie who needs college
funds.

THAT'S WHO THE PACK OF SHORTS PRAY ON AND DEPEND ON.

They bet on a stock to go down-not up! .Understand ? And they have
just as much money and risk as you.But they have the edge of fear
,lies,falsehoods to post and pray on the nervous.Longs don't have that.
