Realmoney - I am glad that everyone can communicate on this thread, whether for good intentions or otherwise - that's what makes this country great. The markets have changed over the years to become more like a casino then an investment arena. I believe the original intent of the stock market was to purchase stock in companies that you placed trust in. Not so today - today's investors, of which I am guilty of myself, often look for the quick buck without much concern for the company itself. But you and the rest of the shorters out there - you guys are GRIM REAPERS - you thrive on bad news and the spread of it. You don't want companies to do good, you want them to do the opposite of what any decent human being would want. I admit that we are all in the market to make money; the difference between you and the longs is that when the longs do good, its because the company's they invest in are doing good - and that's good for a lot of people. When you do good(make a profit), you are the only one that celebrates - everyone else gets hurt. Maybe I'm wrong, but cheering has always been healthier for all concerned than jeering. I guess some people will never have a conscience!
