50K might be enough for a peon to rat though. You can bet the order placers are hiding their screens from the "go get me some coffee" underlings.

Barnum & Bailey, Bugs and Short Sellers... "$50,000 REWARD for Naked Short Sellers" "A $1 Million Dollar Bet on Gold" "Angels, Magnets, and $1676" "The FREE Put" "Hold Tight" Enough to bring tears to the eyes of P.T. Barnum... The real conspiracy against the junior mining stocks comes not from Wall Street, and not from outside hedge fund traders, but very much from inside the gold and mining stock industry itself. The blame lies squarely at the feet of the paid newsletter touts, the nefarious brokerage houses, the pump and dump pundits, and the 24 x 7 pom pom waving permabull cheerleaders, whose timing has been impeccably b-a-d, usually signaling the perfect exit, and/or shorting opportunities. How many promotional ad banners, and sponsored write ups for junior mining stocks do you see on your favorite permabull websites, and in the gold bug newsletters? How many of these stocks that get rave reviews in the rags, then touted by the pundits, and pumped sky high at the money shows, magically collapse just weeks later, after the last shill has bought his ticket to untold riches, and entered the yellow big-top tent? And you want to blame hedge funds, and rogue traders for naked short selling the junior mining stocks? Trying looking behind the gilded gold bug doors in Vancouver, at the photo in the upper left hand corner of your favorite gold bug newsletter, to the pundit at the podium of the money shows, or perhaps even in the mirror. Bottomline: Bug's aint got nobody to blame but themselves. If you don't like getting whipsawed, or caught holding the bag, ... quit drinking the Kool-Aid. You get to the Super Bowl by watching game film and listening to your scouts.... not by watching the cheerleaders, and listening to the carnival barkers on the sidelines. Will the real P.T. Barnum please stand up <vbg>. Mo later, SliderOnTheBlack
