RE:Shorts I'm kind of with you on this. But I also want to increase my holding so I have no problem if the price drops. Weak hands will only sell on the next jump up anyhow... might as well get them out in the .30s or even .20s.
I have no sympathy for anyone selling right now and I also have minimal resentment for the bashers/shorts because they are essentially lowering the price for those who want to continue buying.
Also, make no mistake... there is a LOT of mindless pumping going on with SX right now. Probably more so than bashing. I have no doubt that the vast majority of those pumping (blatant cheerleading without info to back it up, SP predictions, unfounded Tesla rumours, etc..) are planning on selling around .40 despite their claims of $2, $5, $20. I'd much rather buy those shares at the current levels than help these lying penny flippers make any cash. In my opinion, they are more damaging to a stock than the shorts (who at least have the decency to stab investors in the heart... not in the back.) All the pumping does is raise expectations to unrealistic levels, ESPECIALLY in the case of timelines (which are notoriously long in the mining sector).
Let them short. I'll keep nibbling while weak hands sell into the bid. Just my opinion of course... but there's an opportunity here.
Happy New Year and best of luck in 2018 to true SX investors. To the rest... good luck flipping pennies.
