<<but you should not attack people for investing on good stories.>> Excuse me...when have I attacked anyone for investing in a good story? In fact what usually ends up happening is that I get attacked first for questioning a company's management, accounting, stock schemes etc. Typical scenario: Wexler: I recommend shorting company XYZ because their earnings suck and they've been around for 15 years without ever delivering a product. Management has recently fired off a bunch of press releases and rumors to pump up the stock price. 10 minutes later some shill pops up on my thread with something like this. Shill: It looks like Billy Wexliar is spouting his drivel again without knowing anything about this great company. I happened to have lunch with the president the other day and he told me that the big deal with Microsoft is on track. Short con-artists like Wexliar spread lies in order to manipulate the stock. I encourage everyone to write the SEC to complain. I heard that the company is also suing him. Watch for a big short-squeeeeeeeeze next week!!
