Through his rude posts Nick called attention to an otherwise obscure stock on two threads frequented by short sellers.

I pointed this out to Nick myself:

Message 4769980

Oh, btw, posting on this thread is a great way to divert people from shorting the stock <g>. Maybe you should carefully consider the effect of where you place your posts.

Of course, maybe Nick was short himself; a possibility you noted:

Message 4770301

In which case he really played us well (but I doubt it).
Thanks for your observations on getting similar responses on other threads.

Roger, are these tell-tale phrases to look for when loooking for a good short?

This stock is going straight up from here.

The shorts have used up all they have now.

CNBC - on the tube - puttin down Arsensio.

Did I hear right about Asensio? He covered along with the shills???

But I bet he covered, leaving his believers alone.

The short position must be HUGE now. We will get a tremendous short squeeze.


CCSI CEO supposed to be on CNBC at 7:00, after CNBC featured the CEO and Asensio today around 3:30. Has Asensio gotten this much publicity before? I am hoping for the big pop in CCSI tomorrow morning, providing plenty of upticks for shorting. CCSI appears to be a trading short (or long if you catch the bounces), not a hold and short to zero like Zitel.
