Chuckles,

Thanks again for the great research. I spent some time on the Utopia Capital Research site from the link you provided. Clearly this is a site dedicated to short sellers and they try to put a positive spin on their dark art.

What I did find very helpful was a 4 part series entitled "An Introduction to Short Selling". This series includes the history of short selling from it's inception in 1605 by Issac Le Maire of the Dutch East India Company. It also lays out the mechanics of how to short a stock and the associated risks and rewards of the practice.

What I found fascinating was their spin that shorts were actually "helping" the regulatory bodies like the SEC do their jobs since those agencies are typically under-funded and under-staff. According to them, shorts provide an important public service. I can't tell you how grateful that made me feel all the "help" they had provided to CYDY longs.

Below is a link for anyone interested in learning more about the dark world of the shorts.

Part 1 is titled: "Basics of Short Selling". At the end of each part, there is a link to the next article.
