Uh Bill, I didn't make up the fact that the institutional ownership in GUMM increased recently. I suppose you think that I made up the link to MSN.com too...or perhaps you'd like to allege that MSN.com is a fraud. I was minding my own business about GUMM and concentrating on other stocks until you started up your BS hype machine again last night.

I read cases on either the SEC or Nasdaq website in which people were fined and censored for placing trades in stocks that intended to manipulate the price. I also read cases in which people were fined and censored for spreading lies about companies in which they held short positions. I will try to find the links this weekend if I get some time. Of course, somebody who was long GUMM could have placed a legitimate market order even though they knew it would drive the price down. But come on, how likely is that? If the SEC suspects wrongdoing, they can obtain the trading records and it wouldn't be hard to prove probable cause if the person who dumped the stock had a motive.

BTW, regarding your calling Ms. Jodie Bernstein at the FTC, this is just more smoke and mirrors. I'm sure Ms. Bernstein has better things to do than take a phone call from a short seller named Bill Wexler LMAO. Have fun trying to get through to her though.
