What I will never understand is the people who say they hold a stock and then proceed to bash it incessantly and seem to hope, by doing so, they can make it go even lower.
Oh wait....no i do understand. They are called shorts.
Wilander, with all due respect, that is among the most ridiculous and hypocritical things I've heard on this board. You label anyone who says anything remotely critical of the company a "short". Yet you don't like being called a pumper.
I bet you that you have never placed a short sell. If you have, you'd know that no retail brokerage (at least the banks) will allow you to short a stock that isn't marginable. They typically do not extend margin on a stock under $3. Joey and the others are NOT shorts unless they are institutional investors who are able to actually short this stock.
Has it occured to you that people may not wish to sell at a loss, but are still angry at the company? Look at all the BB shareholders still holding on for dear life. It is quite normal to own a stock and hate it. It may be irrational, but the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
This board would be better off without the constant back-and-forth between you guys. Some of us want relevant information, not the constant bickering. Enough with the short slinging, it doesn't exist like you think. Maybe 1-2% of all trades are short sells, and that us being super liberal.
