That is almost funny Mac! Enron and MCI were too of the most agregious examples of LOST money in the Most Liquid stocks. I always get a kick out of the spinners who say dont be cought in Illiquid stocks, what a joke. Illiquid stocks ie floats that are fully owned by investors move the least. Shorts and Naked Shorting by MM are the only tools the trade has to shake an investor base loose. The best investments on any board right now are Illiquid stocks. Want proof? The most valuable security in America is Berkshire, guess what Berks float is. The difference in a Supply Demand Market where scarcity is valued accordingly ( like Berk) is that only fools not speculators would attack via Naked shorting or otherwise the Oracle of Omaha. Traders have no moral apreciation for the mechanistic flaws in their prevailing logic. Short interest is a float multiplier, that operates as an outside factor of true Supply demand equation. While Shorts have fully rationalized creation of shares outside the books, JQ Homeowner of Keokuk, has no idea that the Securities they buy as investments, are priced not according to the companies performance, but by the the mechanistic actions of a trade group, bent on destroying the investments value so as to acquire it cheaper. Keep in mind, when a sleuth focuses on small and mid caps, the trade tactics stick out like a sore thumb. Price suppression for the purpose of accumulation is much akin to theft by deception. Distributions in highly liquid companies, floats of Billions of shares, can as evidenced by those house of cards Enron and MCI, demonstrate that Liquidity is the last thing you want when problems with magnitudes like these two becomes known. The magnitude of a companies problems dictate the lines at the door, and the willingness of the MM to perform their function on the other side. News exposing a companies operating history as Fraudulant, should be met not with trading but with trading suspension. Time can be a cure for some problems, because proof at the moment of the news is always the first casualty.
