Attacks are vicious, concentrated, obvious, transparent, and expected If attacks on the message prove futile, Attack and discredit the messenger. I wish to express my appreciation to a certain SO'T'B for making this expose' so easy. I couldn't find better examples if I searched infinitum. >VBG< During these volatile periods (tax selling), professional short sellers seem to emerge from their bearish lairs as regularly as ghosts and goblins meander through haunted houses on Halloween. Shorting is an emotionally manipulative device-where short sellers not only bet against the success of a company, but through rumor and innuendo, do their best to discredit management and others associated with a company. It is a process subtly carried out by a small minority of investors with the conscious intent of influencing stock prices through manipulating our emotions. Internet chat boards are a prime place for such manipulation. smallcapdigest.com SargeK Note: This particular game will likely wear itself out in just ten more trading days. I find it extremely disappointing that regulars on this message board allow this manipulative practice to be conducted so routinely with little or no comment. Remaining silent is tacit acknowledgement that such practices are OK. I hope you all sleep well with your ill gotten gains.
