Because the basis for your thesis is false.

>> i was wondering, and what wasnt answered, was why having a fairly glib nickname in a tiny article in a tiny local rag warrants any mention in an investment decision ? <<

(1) The nickname wasn't in the article. The nickname was in newspapers in their headline.

(2) Attacking the messenger doesn't make sense to me. "tiny local rag" ? I don't care if the article was scratched on the bathroom wall of a gas station. It's the message in the article which is of particular interest -- not the messenger. One can verify the contents of the message if one choose to wear a tin foil hat and conclude that the publication isn't big enough for himself to trust.

(3) I think the bear raid on the stock is abundantly obvious, and I'd be puzzled if anybody didn't notice it. How much of it is shorting vs. just good old fashioned mischief? I don't know. Many bear raids are just mischief.

(4) Let's keep an eye on JBII management. I know that I have a good eye for people who are asking sneaky rhetorical questions who think they are slick but have an obvious agenda. Wink, wink -- so I'll be watching management closely to see if they ever engage in that behavior and take us for stupid. You know what I mean?
