This whole situation is truly fun to watch, but you must be emotionally disconnected in order to get the full effect. Fighter Pilots call it compartmentalization.
We have bright and learned characters on both sides and of course we have folks that cant find their arse with both hands. That’s par for the course.
Here’s the problem; everyone is thinking inside the box (I hate that term, but its fitting), both sides are looking left, right and certainly watching their “six”. Both sides give an absolute Yes or No to trading, trading in the traditional sense, the everyday public way of trading. We have other ways of “trading”, ways that allow shorty to save face and allow longs to turn-a-dollar (a VERY nice dollar). Take a look at the legalities of who can and cant trade a stock under these exact circumstance. No really, take a look.
Back to the dollar thing: That is purely figurative, not literal. The person that stated “1 dollar”, has not done his (or her) research on similarly situated companies (you really didn’t think we were the only one did you?). The real think-tank weenies that wouldn’t be caught dead on a message board have real numbers from real securities and those numbers are much brighter.
OK, lets back-up again: The inside the box thing: looking left, looking right, , , lets call it Parallel and Perpendicular. Now lets move outside the box, lets think in the Oblique – Neither parallel nor perpendicular. Yeah baby, lets think differently, lets think in terms that make everyone win. Shorty gets off without bad press, longs get a pile of money. Everyone is happy. Hows-bout that shit, a pile of money for longs? Yep, a pile of money for us is nothing for the big boys, it’s a proverbial drop in the bucket.
Stop crying! Longs have cash and will soon forget the evildoers, shorty gets off light and nobody is the wiser. The betterment of mankind? Hahahahahha, damn, that’s funny, just forget it, the best that we can hope for is that the power-houses will think twice, do a little more research before shorting a company into oblivion. Maybe.
