To: Zirdu who wrote (389 ) 8/1/2000 5:09:29 PM From: Maurice Winn Respond to of 543 RR, it's important to not be fooled into thinking things need to make sense when people do them. An almost certainly illegal, deliberate manipulation of stock prices to hurt investors as despicable as the Wall Street Journal's should involve the Editors being 'jailed and beaten to pulp by their fellow criminals'. [I'm quoting Dumb Dweeb here on what should happen to people who advocate dehypothecation - that's what he told me should happen to me as a result of the WSJ.com lie and defamation of me]. It is amazing that Carrie Lee and the Wall Street Journal can be so hypocritical, dishonest, greedy, manipulative, probably criminal, and damaging to investors who are risking their life's savings only to be ripped-off by the evil Wall Street Journal's odious support for the market manipulation perpetrated by Irwin Jacobs and being PAID to do the promotion. The depths of hell have no limit! But it shows how easy it is to make money in the markets. Sad cases like Dweeb believe what the WSJ.com or The Wall Street Journal write, forgeting that they are in it for the money, being paid to promote a probably illegal stock price manipulation to hurt investors and seeking publicity to sell newspapers, more advertising and Carrie Lee's book on market manipulation. Carrie was looking for ammunition for her book. [Definitely illegal if you can believe Carrie Lee, WSJ.com [you can't] and her quote from Bill the Californian that such a market manipulation is illegal]. Sad cases like Dweeb are easily separated from their money because they pay way too much for promoted stocks and abandon in hysteria denigrated stocks. For example, the short interest herd-effect on Globalstar is now spectacular. It's like a 35million cattle stampede. Few of them are thinking. Some are even, like Geoff Goodfellow, stepping to the side and disguising themselves as a cowboy, helping with the herding. Soon, the whole lot will plunge over the cliff and their carcasses will feed us for 1000 years [if the greenhouse effect does indeed cause that counterintuitive ice-age which will preserve their flessh]. To most shorts [I suppose, but maybe wrong - but not if you read their arguments on why G! will fail], selling Globalstar short is a "No Brainer". They love those No Brainers as it suits them admirably [in many cases]. Meanwhile, they are still on a winning course as the fundamentals of Globalstar are leading to doom for shareholders. Will they [the company and service providers] wake up from their trance in time? Are they in a trance or simply One Bud Short of a Six-Pack and don't have the means to wake up? The shorts say the latter. Mqurice
