RE: Why are so many fools Agreed, but it's kind of hard to stop the banks and firms because they are the ones who own most of this stock. They short trade so you have to expect this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but how much of this volume is actual investors? Not much I should think. I would imagine everyone who wanted out is already out, and the rest of us are in it until it turns around or sinks right to the ground.
