MM-Market Maker.TO ALL: VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ I had a broker do some checking and she verified that today's decline was absolutely caused by INSTITUTIONAL SHORTING BY BROKERAGE FIRMS. This new ShortSlime loves to find any issue that runs up sharply (16.5 cents to 2.65 for example), and then hammer it hard. If you want this crap to stop, YOU MUST ASK YOUR BROKER FOR YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATES. I can't overstress this point. UNTIL WE GET OUR CERTIFICATES, these slimeballs will continue to pummel every f*cking chance they get. The Barbarians are at the gate and I'm not being melodramatic. GET YOUR CERTIFICATES. No matter what your broker may tell you, Shorters in BB stocks don't need permission to borrow shares...they just do it. No matter what your broker may tell you, you can still easily sell your stock in the future. CALL THOSE CERTS IN AND THEN YOU WILL SEE THE SQUEEZE ON SHORTSLIME.

Intuition is good too. In stocks it has taken me awhile to really listen to that inner voice. The main concern I have had about CSMA was all the euphoria with recent gains. IMO CSMA has great fundamentals. Like most every other stock it will not go straight up. I don't like to hype stocks or practice wishful thinking, but I want to say don't get discouraged with what happened today. Next time though watch for a stock like this sooner. It was screaming buy way before you got it. IMO CSMA will be back. Good luck.
