RE:RE:My thesis...Thanks Dan. I've seen some discussion here regarding the short position and the potential that shorts have been active in manipulating this stock, but have frankly paid almost no attention to it. My short answer is that, if true, there's nothing I can do about it anyway, and fundamentals will still ultimately prevail.
I hear your comments regarding trying to thwart them. I'm not dissuauding you. Have at it. But it's not for me. I've been around long enough and watched/participated in enough similar conversations to have learned that these conversations/efforts are a waste of my time. I could be wrong. I admit that I'm jaded.
Finally, my instincts cause me to suspect that shorts aren't a big effect here, and, if they are, that they're playing with fire, will get burned, and won't be a long lasting significant influence. Shorts normally succeed by targeting companies susceptible to manipulation...the under capitalized and overly promised. NFG ain't that. But again, I have a history of making magnificently bad investment decisions. I could very well be wrong.
