You are wrong yet again (what a surprise). I never called YHOO a fraud or fraudulent stock promotion scheme. I shorted solely on overvaluation. i then changed my opinion and went long. All this is documented on three separate threads. I also never called KERA a fraud. however, I did short it succesfully for a good gain. KERA was a short based on what I believed to be unreasonable assumptions about market penetration. techstocks.com Good try. However, I have seen literally dozens of shills like you come and go with the same tired arguments and lame attempts to discredit me.

Mike, Wexler has a long track record. Like Warren Buffett, your neighbors, or all the rest of us investors he has made a couple bad timing calls. However it appears to me that Bill Wexler's insights have generally proven quite insightful and well-researched. The beauty of the market is you can vote short or long. Information gets discounted into the price. If you don't agree with someone's short recommendation, buy the stock into that bad news and sell when it achieves your personal valuation target. If right, then thank BW or others for helping you buy low. Take advantage of the boards like SI to give your own reasoning (with extra points for humor and politeness.) On the other hand, someday YOU may be saved from shills and manipulators or even other victims who are pumping-up a bad stock to greater fools. And when BW or someone else with any history comes out with a short recommendation you can bet they will be attacked without mercy. Personal attacking is what pumpers often do when they don't have a compelling case to present or debate. I've been burned countless times over the years because I didn't have access to unpopular points-of-view. Relative to indexes my performance has improved exponentially with access to divese information because of: * What I don't buy and I would have * What I do buy and I wouldn't have * What I short Good luck.
