But, but, but, but - isn't it true that most of the shorting today is through hedge funds and MM's? Certainly, retail hasn't made inroads into this lucrative area of investment and remains miniscule as a percentage. (Note, I recently posted an article that said hedge funds control over half of the long trades.) So, logically, with billions at stake, is it so hard to believe that there isn't one little hedge fund out there in Mozambique paying some dimwit to go from Yahoo board to Yahoo board?? As you guys seem to take this too seriously, let me tell you that the previous paragraph was cynicism, sarcasm, etc. Anyone who believes that the universe of paid posters consists solely of longs/touts is extremely naive at best.
