[SARCASM to follow:]. . . . Here's a winning business plan. . . . Form an online newsletter. . .make it high profile thru "celebrity" appearances. . .take SHORT positions in about 20 stocks, then BASH the heck out of those stocks with an endless string of "investigative" articles. . . repeat over and over until you can hire the best attorneys that money can buy. . .and if anyone gets in your way. . .like a trading group calling one of your short positions, when you are holding short. . .then start making PERSONAL bashes directed at them. . .throw in a rumor about an SEC investigation that can't be verified. . .then if nobody buys that. . .write a campaign of articles in your newsletter, spreading unverifiable rumors about the SEC investigating those making long picks. . .spread fear and innuendo until longs are afraid to post their thoughts or predictions openly. . . .screw the first amendment. . .it has never netted us any money. Executive order: "Anyone getting in the way of the BUSINESS PLAN above, must be dealt with swiftly and severely, before they get the chance to affect our bottom line." [pause in sarcasm] Only one problem . . . this business plan is ILLEGAL. . . with the VERY first article bashing a stock, where this same company holds a short position, which is not disclosed. [sarcasm resumes] SEC executive order [argued to the absurd, with reference to recent Wirth article]: "Well boys, send in that there SWAT team to shut them rascals down, send 'em to jail and maybe even shoot a few along the way." Rande Is . PS. . .[no sarcasm] if you are NOT posting on Silicon Investor because you are afraid, then spend this time writing your congressman. PPS. . .I am still waiting on my apology from Wirth, Street.com and the Securities Exchange Commission's John Stark on that article implying that Silicon Investor posters may see SWAT teams at their doors. . ."Who's next?"
