I give credits to short sellers and have shorted with them at times. But I can't give any credit to BSR on the CDXC piece. It's a piece more about other companies and their links with Honig. When it comes to facts about CDXC, it's ridden with errors. They didn't even care to read 10-Ks and 10-Qs carefully. They didn't even know about the reverse stock split. Or they are deliberately distorting.
What kind of work was that?
Look at how much on the ground work Muddy Waters or GeoTeam put into. That's called quality work!
In contrast, the BSR piece was merely a fear-mongering piece. It was more like a terrorist attack in the investing arena. You can't just generalize and GIVE every short piece credit.
And it's wrong when someone certified to SA that he wrote the article himself when he actually didn't.
If you are really providing a service, you don't lie. If you are a liar yourself, your words and works are questionable.
