I have a 60-page theseis written by an extremely intelligent statistician. He claims that message boards with high traffic are a probable sign of short-selling.

Quite simply, naysayers and longs clashing makes the traffic increase. While I am not, nor have I ever been short CSHD, I do find some truth in his theory.

If you go to google and type "message boards" + "short selling" you can find the paper. It's full of complicated math, but there are layman's explanations. too.

Personally, I have found that more often than not, stocks for the top boards are usually down.
