Thanks Ryan, it comes with the territory as a bear. Let me quote the Motley Fool: Some short-sellers do come off like arrogant jerks, so it can be easy to dislike them. But even polite, calmly rational shorts get flamed mercilessly. Bulls who get mad at short-sellers, though, are almost always too emotionally wrapped up in their investment to recognize the merits of the bear argument. Ian's ramblings about my name, where I live and even the link to Nanook of the North allow us to gage his level of emotional involvement when it comes to Apple. He's so in love with the stock that has no hesitation to act as a five year old in a world-wide public forum. More from the Motley Fool: That's because individual investors tend to encounter short-sellers as anonymous online posters who say nasty things about stocks they own. Nobody likes a spoilsport. Novice investors often confuse correlation with causation and blame the "shorts" for a stock's tumble when the shorts may have simply uncovered problems the bulls were too hopeful to notice.
