Brooks here is something you should know(borrowed from Yahoo): "MMs post on Yahoo/SI all the time (ZLAW), and they often create new accounts just to go bash a stock they are short on (posing as an investor). This, of course, is wrong and should be stopped, but Yahoo/SI doesn't have much of a screening process, and it doesn't appear that the SEC cares either way." Benny

when you look at his path through several low priced issues recently it appears (I may be wrong)that there is a pattern of hype, back & forth banter between what seems like several unrelated posters slapping each other on the back for being so lucky to have found a "breakout" stock....heavy volume out of nowhere, then a precipitous price drop. All this is accompanied by a variety of posts bearing striking similarity...."how I find stocks ready to break out"..."my investment style is..." etc. etc. I haven't lost any money on these stocks, I've just been watching where they go since the issue g_m10 raised about the options he said he bought.
