FG, a question. Let's say that a hypothetical BB XYZ company is targeted as a good company to short by people I'll call the A&B group. Then the A&B group starts posting on message boards in a negative manner that results in driving the share price down. Is it possible that part of the plan would also include people who initially post as strong supporters of The XYZ Company and over time appear to change their opinions of XYZ and then start posting negative comments because they have been persuaded by those bashing the company? Does this sort of thing go on in the process of shorting stocks??? SH
