Just admit it, william, you are a paid tout. You've made outlandish claims of imminent production, and cozied up to the other paid touts on this thread. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Just think of all the money innocent readers of this thread have lost because of the years of "insiders tell me production is imminent" crap on this thread. Crap which you have always condoned. Face it william, the track record of the naysayers on this thread, professional or not, had been far more accurate than the inside knowledge crowd. It's not even a contest. So look closely in the mirror, william, before you accuse others.

Bravo william, nail on the head. This present slump in Valence was mostly brought on and exacerbated by the shorts. More harm has been done to the company and especially its shareholders by this group in the past 2 months than all the delays in the last 2 years. I don't see why the bulls couldn't file a class action suit. There's enough documented trading evidence - and all those private messages between the members of that group relating to the conspiracy are retrievable via court order. I am certain that Wexler was ousted by SI and didn't leave voluntarily which demonstrates that there was plenty of smoke to arouse suspicion. There's good reason to at least file a complaint with the SEC asking for an investigation of the trading activities in the last couple months. If several of us signed it, we might increase our chances of getting them to initiate some action.

Sorry William, couldn't access the last. Yes, while Asian countries, notably among others, practice economic "Darwinism" we seem to be slogging along fat dumb and happy. Alarms have been raised at the highest levels, including Clinton's cabinet, but little is done. There was a small victory in Europe (the banana war) but I can't see much real action from the WTO and G7 to counter defacto, mercantilist trade restrictions, dumping, etc. At home, the markets remain a wild and wooly place with loopholes that some professional shorts bent on manipulation could drive a truck through. Many of these are foreign based. Some of these foreigners such as the PRC and Japan seem to envision the US as a "colony" of consumers. In this scenario, the local professional shorts are, effectively, a kind of "fifth column" that knowingly or unwittingly create roadblocks to US companies that are trying to compete in this environment. They profit by creating havoc, only different by measure than sabotage with a bomb. Who needs enemies with friends like these? Shorting is a necessary component of the financial markets, but like international trade, some equity is needed. Recent posts by Rich and Paul have flagged shenanigans that need to be effectively regulated.
