I used to write for Bloomberg. Anytime I posted a story that moved stock prices, I got pats on the back and congratulatory emails from colleagues. On such times, I would keep up the pressure and dig for more info to "Update" the story. And you get more pats when you post what is really not newsworthy and it moves market. Fast-forward to this WSJ guy. He basically collates what is out there and obvious and puts it on the WSJ platform. With tons of shorts already on the stock, we get more shorting. ANd the larger press picks up the story. And Moodys comes (usually late) ranting. And more shorting and management keeps mum. And shareholders are left hanging. That is what is going on here./
