To "TraderGreg". My friend. that was quite a post of yours. i wish that i was smart enough to understand all of it, but i'm afraid that you lost me in a few parts of it. one (1) of your points that you make that i just have to respectfully disagree with you about is the part about market makers "shorting" the stock (of "ARET"). you say that if the stock price of "ARET" does start to suddenly rise then the market makers will simply come-in and "short" the stock - driving the price back down to where they want the stock price to be. HMMMMMM!! my response to that is - "good - let them try it!!". "shorting" a stock of ANY company is (IMO) one (1) of the all-time most dangerous - and all-time most stupid - things that anyone can ever do in the stock market. "shorting" by definition means that you are selling something that you do NOT own!! WOW!! if that is not a recipe for TOTAL FINANCIAL DISASTER then i would really like to know what is!! i know that if i was a market maker and i sold - say - a couple of million shares of "ARET" that i DID NOT OWN then i would most definitely have a VERY hard time sleeping at night!! if they (the market makers) really want to "play" this silly little game - OK!! - it's their necks in the hoop!! i personally believe that when they see that the stock price of this company is starting to go up - FOR REAL!! - then they will NOT DARE do anything as foolish as to "short" the stock!! just my own personal thoughts on the subject, my friend. take care and have a nice evening. God bless.
