FYI dimgroup.com Shorts and the use of Message Boards by POWERSLAMMER Do you even know how "shorts" work? They bet that a stock would go down, just like you bet a stock will go up. Now a year ago when I asked broker friends of mine if the Internet message boards will have any affect on a stock. They ALL laughed at me and said those idiots having an affect on a stock! Well I asked those same friends this last week-and the answer from all YES! Message boards and "shorts"(some) can manipulate with lies, bullshit, and deceit. Let me tell you what I have seen on two different boards .One stock was $8 and a "pack" of shorts come on and posted total lies about SEC violations, and "class action lawsuits". There was 15-20 of these manipulating "shorts". The stock went from $8 to $6 overnight without cause -just these manipulating "packs" posting total lies and BS. Another board I had seen about 15 months ago had a bunch of "regulars" on the board. Problem was these "regulars" were the nicest bunch of mostly elderly people you would want to know and talk with. The stock was about $18 and then came "the pack" of shorts. There were again 15-20 of them. They got the elderly so scared that they would not fight and just stopped posting. Thus leaving the board totally to these manipulating "shorts". The stock went from $18 to $10 without reason just lies posted by these liars. Do you understand a little now? Let me say this to you and i want you and the whole board to think about this statement. *IT IS EASIER TO SCARE PEOPLE INTO SELLING THAN IT IS TO SCARE PEOPLE INTO BUYING A STOCK.* Now think about that, you have elderly that invest and find their way to the message boards only to see false posts about "SEC Violations" and "Class action suits" or you have a Yuppie with a kid to put in college going to these message boards only to see posts by 15-20 (probably 5 or 6 under alias) "pack of shorts" posting the same false stuff about SEC Violations or lawsuits or "there's bad news coming out".... What do you think they will do? Let me ask you people who don't like my attacking back ways, language etc... Do you think for that elderly person and that Yuppie with the college kid -that it would be easier to take the money out of the stock with these rumors and put the money back into the bank? Another question: do you think it is easier to take money out of the bank and invest it into stock.... or easier to take the money out of the stock and put it back into a safe bank ? It's easier to sell the stock and put the money into the bank for nervous people like the elderly and the Yuppie who needs college funds. THAT'S WHO THE PACK OF SHORTS PREY ON AND DEPEND ON. They bet on a stock to go down-not up! Understand? And they have just as much money and risk as you. But they have the edge of fear, lies, and falsehoods to post and pray on the nervous. Longs don't have that. That's why the rumors that started last night (not from me) was a beautiful way to fight these manipulating "shorts". All is fair if they are going to start with the lies and "bad news is coming BS " I would rather have new people to the board be "confused" when these pack of shorts are trying to manipulate stock, than "play nice" and have their lies influence. So you and a few others might not like my methods, language, spelling etc..... But I don't give a crap...it's my life savings NOT yours. Sometimes I don't have the time to find the links to attack these "pack of shorts" with facts. Even "the Hat" got upset last night and I've never seen him get upset. By the way "Hat" i thought at first you were a kid with charts-now I know your man and an expert in your field, a real craftsman in my book ! Anyway I've seen what these "pack of manipulators" can do. With the great "regulars" on this board-we can see all these new names coming and some posting BS and lies to try to manipulate. Not on this board sucker.
