All these 'Lessons' that you cut and pasted. What makes you believe that they have anything to do with reality? There are a lot of unscrupulous short sellers in this world, no doubt about it; I know some well. But paying someone to make posts on a message board would be a terribly inefficient method to manipulate a stock's price, mainly because it wouldn't work, except for companies with very small market caps and a very few shareholders that control the float. Rambus doesn't qualify.
