RE:RE:RE:Share buy back Just an un-substantiated rumour can cause a halt in trading and SP hike as I remember. (IPL). As for shorts, if you think a company is failing it should be your privalage to bet against them at your own peril. Posting rumours about said company is another topic. Don't like traders shorting? Trade on China's exchanges where shorting is not allowed.
Trevor, no such thing as loyalty to a stock. It's your money and you do what you like with it.

Of course our mr lashing will argue there is no such thing as a vet short attack,and others will opine that those with only a small % of the float controlling the majority has a valid place in ( just balancing the market ) as if, thes practices should be illegal and those fund mgrs etc that spread their fearmongering to profit are in my opinion participating in quasi criminal behavior.
