"Look at the stocks that are most often targeted by these people. They aren't CSCO or SUNW or NOK or LU. " Well, there's a reason for that, and it's not because they're not start up companies that are 'susceptible to manipulation'. The fact is that most rational short sellers form their opinion of a stock and then trade because of that opinion. I think Geist is full of sour grapes, and has no clue what motivates the opinions of short sellers. But hey, that's my opinion. Perhaps someone can accurately describe something he doesn't understand. It's much more likely though that his view is skewed by his prejudice and misunderstanding. Regards, Barb
