Organized short network...
Clearly, an organized attack with the help of the right people in the right places. Seeking Alpha must knowingly accept these articles (highly biased and misleading, possibly fraudulent) from their investment industry users...such as Hedge Funds. Therefore, Seeking Alpha is a outlet for Hedge Funds to anonymously control investor opinion on a particular stock. In addition, like minded accomplices at the NASDAQ are picking up the news piece and giving it a wider audience. How crooked is this? This reeks of a coordinated effort with deceptive motives at all levels.
The real story here should be putting an end to these nefarious anonymous operations. If a hedge fund is short and made the wrong bet, they must suffer the consequences...not lie to allow themsevles to exit their position at the expense of other shareholders.
End the anonymity...it is abetting criminal activity and causing a lack of faith in the market as a whole.
