Miamigator, Don't expect to be taken seriously with that question or to use it as a substitute for a sensible response. Let me give you a little advice since you just started posting a couple of weeks ago, in contrast to my four years. Do not try to yell "short" to deflect criticism. Let me explain why doing so makes a person look like a simpleton: Being long has a major impact on the tone and content of an investor's comments. Having said that, being long indicates a sincerely positive sentiment, justified or not. Being short has a major impact on the tone and content of an investor's comments. Having said that, being short indicates a sincerely negative sentiment, justified or not. Now let me explain the difference: overwhelmingly people are on the long side and that's where the majority of the biased crap resides. That's where most of the worthless opinions are, by sheer arithmetic. Second point. Did you disclose your position? Not important in your case? Personal positions are none of your business whether you're heads or tails on the stock: it's none of your business. Furthermore, if you actually think information obtained online is valid I would close your $7 trading account now and go home. Let's see if your bright enough to see the symmetry between long and short positions and the caveats that apply to both. Now if you have anything sensible to say then say it.
