Obviously there is a motive, only the very naïve would believe that his postings are only to inform, educate misguided investors in ECIG. He has made some excellent observations, at the same time he cannot predict with any degree of accuracy what might happen in the future. While his speculation is valid, we all know that things can change very quickly. For some reason there was a spike in the share price near the end of day, looking for news out next week. For those who have shorted this stock at this low of a price level could be gut check time.
