fair enough - can't argue with it. There was an interesting NY Times article yesterday about a couple of normal, nice guys who got infatuated with WAVX. I found it revealing in the way human nature takes over to the detriment of reason, abetted by the message boards where folks find a self-boosting community. Reminds me of a sports team - cheering, encouraging, looking hoping praying for good news - disparaging the other team, etc. Emboldened by the mutual support, folks throw their fears and caution to the wind.

But all this is antithetical to rational, successful investing, and the guys' performance suffered thereby.

Why is it so hard for you to realize that the reporters are reporting the truth? Doesn't the inevitable repeat performance of stocks they write about indicate aything to you? How did yo ulearn to type so well after apparantly being born last nite?

sommovigo:

Took a look at your profile - I do hope the "anything Fnord is short' comment is tongue in cheek.

Sincerely, please do yourself the favor of going back one year to search for everything Floyd shorted and where those stocks are now.

Floyd does uncover frauds very well - he is doggedly persistent. You would be wise, obviously, to include that info in your calculations.Notice too you are in Atlanta. Any personal relationships with any CYBR folks?

Thanks, peter

"if the SEC bust from last week is any indicator, I suspect that manipulation is rampant in the market on both sides of the gameA"

Why? Everyone who was charged with manipulation in that case was long. Just about everyone who is charged by the SEC for manipulation is also long. Why if short selling manip is so rampant as you seem to think, are the charges brought by the SEC against those long who seek to sell to bagholders at inflated prices? Your fantasies fall apart in the face of hard cold evidence.
