Whack a Stroller I think this is more insidious than that.....I've written about my theory of who/what the Short position is/ consists of. I believe it is mainly a small investment firm(s ) which specialize in gold exploration companies, mainly in Canada, but possibly Australia and the US, too. These are mainly Penny stocks, and the large investment firms aren't going to bother......this is a lucrative special investment sector for them, since Penny stocks in general, are volatile, prone to promotion, and later slumping(another basher disguised as a crossdressing snowplow operator?) and, the gold exploration companies in particular generally fail......the Short firm(s), thus, have a specialized niche to themselves.......I don't know what the rules for shorting are in Canada(we dont have any short people up here) , but, I think in the US, retail investors are prohibited from selling stocks Short that are priced less than a couple or few dollars ( our govt is 'protecting us, you see, as us poor fools aren't allowed to play in this lucrative Short sandbox)(hmm, and how about your elected officials, congressmen and women and senators, trading on insider information, are they allowed to short drug stocks when for example when a bad ruling is about to come out, or buy when a new covid vaccine is about to be approved). IOWs, for US retail investors you simply are not allowed to sell Penny stocks short.....somehow, the professional investment firms are exempt from this, or they use offshore accounts to sell Penny stocks short.....Yes, NFG is not a penny stock, but it is a gold exploration stock, even if it is the Queen of the Canadian gold exploration stocks(to be proven. As in mre . proof), so, it falls within the bailiwick of these few Short firms concentrating on this niche......as I have written, Crux neatly falls into this description of what the Short player would look like, in my view.....Crux may be Short NFG(not that Im aware, but Im not Crux. Im Snozz. I just woke up after snozzing off for 40 years), or maybe they were just hired to write their short hit piece on NFG(anything is possible, perhaps Ike hired them and shorted), or maybe they are a bit of both. But, the BasherFest campaign revealed a lot. It likely reveals that the Short position is TRYING to cover(I know of no one who is short, included that pryck pirate Bucc), but, it also reveals the ruthlessness of their tactics(Ive heard hes ruthless before). And, it also reveals that it is likely that I was right about what the Short players look like.(short? Russian? femme wrestlers?)
Dumb as they come.
