Do you see the problem with your point of view?
You are saying it's okay to pump a stock you own as long as you are not doing a good job of it - LOL!
Let me get this straight. It's okay to short a stock and then bash it or to buy a stock and then pump it, as long as you don't think you are affecting the masses or creating a large amount of volume?
It sounds like you are saying not to be judged by the crime, but the extent of the damage?
John 8:7 (King James Version)
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
