Dudes,
That the problem with having a "private" thread that some were discussing a day or two ago. You wouldn't be getting the "angry long" input that factors into the decision making process.

I've seen far too many cases of longs viciously attacking shorts prior to a stock tanking for it to be meaningless. I've taken it to be a reliable, bearish indicator. Many longs seem to get quite ugly when a stock stalls before its death spiral.

I was quite long on TAVA when the TAVAites started in on Mr. Wexler. I switched sides and did quite well both ways. My respect and appreciation for Mr. Wexler went up immensely after that. It seems that he, too, does not lie.

Barbara,

The "shill indicator" has become very reliable in detecting good stocks for short selling.

FWIW
biz.yahoo.com;

Mr. Pink has called this company a triple turd. The Motley Fools denounced it as a "Goat." William O'Neal, editor and chief of the Investor's Business Daily, having had Noam Lotan, President and CEO of MRVC on the info-commercials of the IBD to promote the IBD's rags of crap filled pages as a trustworthy financial journal, is now shamefully quite about MRVC's share price.

What does this say about MRVC? Answer: A theory. It's a small company whose share price is more easily manipulated by bullshit than a larger company like CSCO. Is MRVC any less viable a company than it was when everyone was in love with it a little while ago? Well, is it? Come on. Is it!? Nobody has a God damned clue.. now do they? As in life, Faith and Fear, not the Facts, however many there are - one way or the other - and however they might be interpreted, are more the important things for most "investors."

Sincerely,
Marty
