Please, Brian, just don't confuse some of us who are just conservative by nature with a basher or a short. Bashers and shorts are blood-sucking vampires IMO. Let me rephrase that: Bashers who short or shorts who bash are blood-sucking vampires. I don't short, but shorting in itself is just the way the market works - for some people - not me. I like to bet on winners, not on losers and gaining from other people's grief/losses. WCTI is the "search engine of the future," AFTER it gets off the OTC-BB. vb

yeah Brian, it was me.. I mentioned it.. couple days before it finally happened. I saw em coming.. I understand how they work.. When a stock begins to really move, they assess the potential for making money on the downside. They really are attracted to BBs because there are no financials, and as a result its very easy to create fear & doubt. After they place their sell orders they move onto the boards and will begin making accusations to scare people and then profit by an exaggerated downturn they help to create..their 'timing' is always remarkable.. often times claiming to be taking the 'high' road, helping people. Now to be sure there are certainly some illegitimate cos. out there. but as was mentioned in press today for every illegitimate one there are probably 200 more just trying to get off the ground no matter.. because they are BB's the shorts can say anything, and its harder to defend against because of lack of information. Of course, the opposite, with overzealous longs, can also be true. if you want an education, go back and look at what was posted on this board just as we peaked at 20 the other day, and read carefully between the lines as to who posted what in those few minutes.. there are shorts on this board attempting to appear as longs. Read the posts that morning,look at the chronology, the remarkable timing, and you will see who some are. Also notice who only appears at the times the more obvious shorts appear as well,and who corresponds with each other. Their timing is obvious, and they work in teams, and there are boards in SI where they work together. To be fair, same could be said about longs really, who play the upside and share information as well. Look at their profiles, and you can readily see other boards they are working, and the stocks they are shorting. Today one of 'our' shorts shorted ELON, and HDIE, as well. As a good example, look at the exact moment on the ELON chart when he shorted ELON, and what board he communicated to about it. On this board, after we really were moving, there was an attempt made by shorts of PMing some longs directly, and sending even personal emails, to influence. Happened to me and some other longs PM'd me and told me it was happening to them. They try to figure out who the long players are, and work on em..a typical pattern.. Now one good thing that comes from shorts, as they blame, & accuse, according to their agenda, is that it brings some really good information to the surface. Much good information came out today. So its really not all bad. You just have to see what everyone says, and make your own judgements about their credibility, and the credibility of the information. On a spiritual level this whole relationship between shorts and longs can be assessed in other terms... Longs tend to be people of hope and faith, on the positive side. Shorts tend to be the accusers, and blamers, on the negative side. We have em, in all areas of our lives. But its not quite so black and white. People of hope can be misled, and can be misguided for what they hope for, and distort as well. and accusers can be bringing up very real stuff.. Just watch out for any distortion you see from either side, consider the agendas, and Everyone, be aware of who you are dealing with, and be your own judge!!!
