dvdmogul, still blaming the bear market on shorts?
another quote from you- "three and a half years into a huge Bear market manipulation" #msg-1180087
i agree with you about naked shorting, that is definitely manipulation that should be stopped, and there's some recent news that they're cracking down on it
but do you realize that short interest most likely drove the Nasdaq higher at the 2000 top than it would have without shorts?
your one-sided bias and constant focus on shorts is similiar to those that have blamed the PPT for the sole driving force of this rally since March... you must've had a nasty experience during the bear downslide... have you ever sold a stock?... you think the Naz in March 2000 should have just kept going up up up?... do you think stocks should just keep going up forever?... and if there is a correction, according to you, it's just them damn shorts manipulating again... boy o boy
