Thanks Samuel - thought I was all alone here with the Asholios!! From your second posted link - "...shorts like Asensio occupy a murky subculture in the investment world." Also: "People who short-sell generally live on the dark side Take Asensio. When he has something to say about Avant! he will issue an electronic press release on PR Newswire. At the end of the third quarter in 1997, for example, Avant! released its earnings report, calling its numbers ''extremely gratifying.'' Asensio put out his own release, headlined: ''Avant! reports dismal third quarter results.'' And finally: ''Obviously, he's merely trying to create a self-fulfilling prophecy,'' Lifschultz said. ''The more things that he can say to cast doubt and cast aspersions . . . he can and should do as a short-seller. That doesn't make any of it true. That doesn't make any of his predictions reliable.'' Real classy individuals - and the short's personalities (oxymoron for sure) match their investment style. So who's really the LIAR - or is it OK as long as you're only trying to make money???
