Shorting is very unpopular with people and companies. You should never tell that many people you have shorted, or you get flamed. Pump and dump is ok :)

Mike, Agreed that the post was goofy but I would imagine there are many concepts within it that are true. One could imagine a group trying to pile on a stock in order to push the price down. Your right though that a single poster with different names and writing styles could perform the same function. On another subject. Yesterday I closed on a piece of property. Asked the closing agent how business was she said they had 0 refi's in the previous month. Yes 0 Now since 1/2 of the title companies business was from refi's I gather business is a little slow. She said they were down to minimal staffing, but the office looked large and nice and I doubt the rent had gone down. Shorted the stock today. Hope I'm right on my FA. AVXT I know the stock fairly well I owned it for a couple years ,in fact until the stockhouse piece. I'm not so sure it's a bust and in fact there seems to be some science there. The board has some ardent supporters though. It would seem to me that it's becoming more about the profit picture for these Bio's going forward. I do believe some wonderful things will come from the bio's in the very near future. Let's only hope.
