Actually, I figure junior minors have to be at least as vulnerable to naked short selling as any other. After 100 years of natural selection it has to be in the DNA. Message 24686603 SMH

re:[No one, not even Sinclair, has suggested that the extended underperformance of the juniors is caused by naked short selling."] Really? Well let's just take a look at what Sinclair actually said about naked shorts in the gold mining juniors, the day he posted his $50,000 dollar reward in his June 18th posting titled: "The Day the Juniors Fight Back." "I herewith dedicate my life, my fortune and all that I am to the identification of the perpetrators and their conduits used.... There is NOTHING I will not do to protect those that depend on me. I am livid. Enough is enough." Hmm? Dedicating one's life, and one's fortune to fighting the naked shorts? You're obviously correct, what could I have been thinking <vbg>? But, let's not stop with Uncle Jim. How about Jim Puplava... who's been pounding the drum on the gold juniors for eons, only to suffer massive underperformance. He's calling this - drum roll please... "The Crime of the Century." So here we have two of the most widely read permabug pundits calling it "The Crime of the Century" and vowing to dedicate both their life and their fortune to it.... but, yet you want us to believe that "no one" has suggested that the underperformance of the juniors is caused by naked short selling? Would you like 5, or 10 more examples from other permabug pundits, or are those two enough? Would you like screen shots of 10, or 20, goldbug permabull web sites with sponsored banner ads from these pump n' dump stocks that they've promoted to their readers, only to have them naked shorted into oblivion? Would you like to see a mailbox full of newsletters pumping these same junior mining plays that get promoted in all the newsletters, on all the websites, and at all the money shows... only to get naked shorted into the abyss by the promoters when they dump? This isn't new - news. And it's only "big" news, because we're in another once in 20 year massive bull run for gold and commodities. Just scan the gold bug forums, and bulletin boards... pundit after pundit, that had been pounding the table for the imminent break out in the juniors to no avail ... are all now whining about the naked shorts. It's the same old circle of promoters, pundits, and pump and dumpers that's been around for ages. Only this time - THEY got stuck holding the bag, because of all the other choices in this age of ETF's, ETN's, and click of a mouse options on futures trading. S.O.T.B.
