cuz i know they short stocks, they did it with GVRP. they allowed post=split shareholders to sell before shares were delivered to anybody... that was a short.
that was one of my first "proofs" that i had in hand about NS'ing in specific (as opposed to general rumor).. and it's rock solid proof.
instead of beleiving whatever you are told on the phone? you've gotta follow-up... just as if it was posted on th eBB's
