Eh, I'm not a short-seller in equities anyway. Even so, my name or anyone else's name coming up is ridiculous. It's a question of people who made mistakes blaming others.

You know I knew a company that I could have shorted from 50 dollars to 25 cents. Ethically though, I could not do it, I knew too much by inference. I knew the new chairman was going to kill that company but I could not short it.

If I had it to do over again I still would not short it. It would be like you and CSCO. You would never sell Cisco, and I could not sell this company. But you get these cretins who need a reason why they are poor now and whammo, you are the villain.

The Internet needs to be purged of idiots such as these, but I fear we are stuck with them forever.
