Read thisDontpanic wrote: If you purchased Newstrike shares because you thought it was a good investment then don’t give any credibility to what you read on this forum. Unless it has been backed up with data you can validate. Below is a brief description of short selling tactics (short selling is borrowing of shares for the purpose of selling).
Short selling is highly regulated by securities authorities around the world, not only because of its risky nature, but also because it is prone to manipulation by dishonest short sellers who may use unethical tactics to drive down stock prices. Such “short and distort” schemes and other abuses such as bear raids are more prevalent during severe bear markets
“Short and distort” is an illegal tactic used by unscrupulous short sellers wherein they short a stock and then spread rumours and innuendo to drive down its price. A bear raid refers to short sellers who connive to push a stock lower through concerted short selling and rumors of negative developments.
Now, when you read through the many comments on this forum remember what you read here. Take to your own searches and look it up and learn all you can about it. It will help you understand how share prices are affected.
Excellent advice. Time is on our side. Day traders and shorts might be in a hurry, but long-term shareholders certainly aren't. We patiently wait it out and use the dips to buy more and average down.
