Tell the "bashers" how to short this stock legally and your words may have merit one day. There may be a few people here that are short the stock, but do not assume you know a person's motive.
There are hundreds of longs who admit they own the stock who are pumping the stock every day, so who are they to judge even if someone was short this stock and posting their opinion?
If someone illegally shorted the stock then I have a big problem with that. If they shorted the stock within the law, then more power to them and yes, they have as much right to post opinions as shareholders do.
