OK, thanks for sharing your opinion.

Can you do me a favor? would you please explain to me why someone shorting a stock could kill the stock so effectively? I thought that in the case of someone deciding to short a stock, they'd have to borrow shares in order to go short. In other words, that means that they would not have a direct ability to cause a share's price to go down because they are just borrowing shares in the hope that the share price will go down. So, in the case of this stock, how do you think that the shorts are ruining the share price? If they are just borrowing the shares, and have no direct ability to determine a lower share price, how can they crush the share's price?

I always wondered how this could work, and was hoping for your feedback. Thanks.
