I have no problem with it. If you believe in a company then hold it long thru the manipulation and remove all stop losses.... as far as the shorts go who cares about them... they are well aware of the gamble they are taking.... going on most boards like they are bi-polar.... cheering the stock on one day then killing it the next...... shorting and buying calls is risky...... who shorts a 3 dollar stock that is pending news anyway?
