What I find more intriguing, however, is the possibility of Naked Shorting of the stock by domestic or off-shore parties that was separate and distinct from the original pump and dump. As we have seen from the disclaimers on some of the "Stock Advisory" sites out there, there are those who will short those stocks which they believe to be pump and dump operations, for profit. It doesn't take a major stretch of imagination to envision a more substantial shorting by on-shore or off-shore entities using techniques which are the functional equivalent of shorting, but, which do not leave the traceable numbers that small investors can refer to when researching the shorting associated with a stock.
There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity.
