Loser... CYBR and ARIA are crap and so are you. Don't blame your misfortunes on those smart enough to recognize a piece of turd when they see it. Oh well, you know a fool and his money are soon to part. What's your cost average in CYBR? Shouldn't you be selling by now?

Actually, it's an example of people knowing how good Tony is when he makes a pick. We short sell because we think the price is going down, not to make it go down. That's the critical point that you're missing. All you have to do is look at the prices of the stocks six months later...CYBR for example. It is not illegal for several people to think that a stock is a good short sale because it is overpriced and to short it. I'm sorry you don't understand, but I'm through arguing with you. If you want to bother the SEC with your misperceptions, feel free. Regards, Barb

A few points from a bemused lurker. CYBR had revenue of $11 million in first quarter, which is $44 million annualized. Stock price has risen from less than $1 to $40 in less than year. Business plan is not clear how they will make money in the difficult health care arena. Float is 45 million. Internet bubble finally bust and this is a very good candidate for shorting at that high level. With fundamentals like this the stock probably popped up on everyone's short list. Anyone that follows guru up or down deserves whatever they get. JMHO, Steve Davis

Within minutes, the 250 traders ... respond to his burst of lyricism with collective action. This is a TACIT example of manipulation by means of contemporaneous shorting - textbook, IMHO. Read Section 9 - this is EXACTLY what is being described in Section 9 as price manipulation. How the heck is this any different than when George Gilded puts a rec out and his legions buy the crap out a stock? You guys are idiots and deserve to lose all your money.
