RE:RE:RE:Short sellers targeting Canadian miners mackthenife,
Short selling by itself is good for the market and keeps things balanced. But what is happening is far from that. It is a deliberate attempt to drive down a stock price by naked shorting (why is this allowed?), no uptick rule in Canada?, spreading misinformation etc. Also if I was going to manipulate a stock price I would rather do it in Canada vs. the US where you may end up in jail. Certainly hiring a lawyer to defend against an SEC investigation will cost you a lot even if there is no charges etc. The big boys in New York know the Canadian venture market is ripe for this kind of stuff.
YOu can just read BBs and see how fast many retail investors get spooked, do not really understand what they are invested in ect.
Cheers
