This was posted up on BBNS today: Subj: Fwd: BBNS ALERT HFCI "BBNS ALERT Concerns" Date: 98-03-26 06:32:22 EST From: bbns@zebra.net (BBNS One of the Best) Date: Wed, 25 Mar 1998 16:42:25 -0700 To: bbns@zebra.net Subject: BBNS ALERT HFCI "BBNS ALERT Concerns" Encoding: 14 Text Kerry -- For the record (and you may pass this along if you wish) -- when I see a reference to a good solid company's stock being knocked down to .02 or whatever by those proverbial evil shorting MMs, I laugh derisively and hit the "delete" button. The most ridiculous development of 1996 in the microcap sector, IMO, was the invention of the concept of the penny-stock short squeeze as a device to help hype worthless* stocks. It's been mostly discredited (see the chart histories of OVIS/RMIL, VTPI, CSMA, BANY, EUTO, etc.) but I guess there are still some naive people out there who accept this stuff as fact. Hell, I guess some people still believe Clinton was set up, too <g>. *BTW I'm not saying HFCI is worthless. I AM saying that, IMO, the "shorting MM" fiction should be retired already.
