>>Hearing that FAHN is borrowing more shares is not a good thing.
Don't discount the power of some of these bastards to ruin good companies. And
there is always the Canadian side of things, which thinking about the connection
between Hong Kong and Canada recently, this is something to watch out for.

You guys are really serious about this manipulation! I am
a novice at this so I'll ask a bunch more stupid questions:

1) Is it typical for FAHN to represent a client in their
shorting action, or to do it as an organization?

2) Again, as Gary pointed out, there is no fundamental justification
for the shorting, so it must either be due to a TA signal or
an attempt by FAHN to outspend the possible buyers. Given that
FAHN was trying to borrow 100K shares, and RADAF mgmt has
allocated 1MM shares to be repurchased the longs must eventually
prevail. Am I missing something?

Chris,

In addition to physically taking possesion of ones shares, there ought to be a rule that I have the right to call my broker and request that my shares NOT be made available for short sales. After all, whether the certificates are in my house or in my brokers office, they are still mine. I should be able to dictate whether they are borrowable or not.
