<Could be the brokers are getting dift of things to come.........Hmmmm> How come when it moves up, "The brokers and longs must know something", and when it moves down, "It's a short conspiracy". Sounds like it's time for someone to write a "How to run a successful pump and dump" operation. I can easily think up a few traits. 1) Discount fundamentals. 2) Emphasize the price movement. 3) Plant seeds of a short squeeze. 4) Claim all shorts are boiler room workers. 5) Use 10% fact, 90% maybes. 6) Claim there's news coming "any day now" or "in the coming weeks". 7) Start rumors about agreements with multibillion dollar corporations. 8) Claim you have "insider" knowledge. etc, etc, etc.. It's just too easy. Maybe I'm just being cynical, but it seem to me, the shorts are being more straightforward than the longs at this point. I have no position in RACE at the moment. And if it bothers you that I post, get over it. Seems if you have nothing to fear, impartial observations (at least those without some monetary interest) wouldn't bother anyone. But hey.. maybe that's just me. -klaus p.s. This is not intended to be addressed to any one person, just an observation. Many of the longs are actually friends, and I don't really have any personal knowledge of any of the shorts, well, other than the fact that they've been right in the past.
