RE:BBD.B held upClub, this is the market. There are no white hats and no black hats. We are all here to make money. Period. This desire to make money is the only thing we have in common here. The market is a collection of all efforts to make that money. Longs. Shorts. Traders. Institutions. All buyers and sellers working from their own perspective in their own time frame. All have an equal right to be here, and an equal right to do their best at whatever they do. It is not a club, and you choose to be here of your own volition. You would know the market is the dirtiest sandbox on the planet. But don't come here and then complain in any waythat it is, in fact, exactly what you already knew it was. If you choose to enter, freely, complaining in any capacity then is only annoying.

Volatility was incredible with the major player being house1 in trades .
Shorti trading for quick profit has become mainstream more now than ever.
1- between sept 1 and 15 1.27 million shares were shorted as shown on the short trade summary report equalling 23% of the volume for that period.
2- During this period the short position shows only an increase of 25.9 thousand shares
The retail community is at the mercy of the pimps of baystreet that know exactly how to handle their retail johns..a very appropriate analogy IMO.
