re: "True but one has to think that if the future [of AVXL] was as bright as WE believe it is, the price would not be this low, ever, for any reason."

For any reason? That is a preposterous absolute statement. Of course there are all kinds of reasons for a company's stock price to dip even if it has a bright future. There are many bio-techs with nothing wrong with them that have gone down a lot in share price in the current general market sell-off. That is one reason.

Other exceptions include by reason of naked short selling, spoofing, slander and harassing lawsuit. Oh and did I forget, flooding discussion forums with posters who spout nonsensical criticisms and logical fallacy.

A recurring example of false basher logic goes like this: If the company were any good, why is the share price dropping so low?"

When there is an effort by posters in financial media to issue misleading statements to scare investors away from a stock, that is like shouting fire in a crowded theatre. In the old days, theatres tended to be wooden fire traps, but it remains a classic model in debates about freedom of speech.

Why would someone fraudulently yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre? Well. maybe the plan is to pick the pockets of the trampled bodies left behind, after all the people have stampeded out the exit. Now I say, "There is no fire." But then he says "If there is no fire, then why is everybody stampeding for the exit?" Am I supposed to stop there and say "Oh, gee, maybe there really is a fire?" That's confusing cause and effect. Is the place in flames? No. Have the fundamentals changed? No.
