For younger and or inexperienced investors in CYDY; let me translate this to common Wall Street speak.
CYDY Shareholders, the shorts in CYDY are very worried. We can no longer wait to cover our positions. We are close to Margin Calls. Some shorts received Margin Calls today / their equity fell below the Federal Guideline of 30%.
Please uneducated CYDY shareholders, sell your long position to shorts. We need another profit that we can brag about in a month or two.
If you do not sell your CYDY; we will be forced to take offers / buy at the asked side. This will drive more of our altruistic CYDY shorts into margin calls. This in turn will prompt additional efforts to change the longs attitude and scare them into selling .
That's that and that's that. Period.
Shorting is a 100% Psych game. Shorts will also manipulate share prices up; oh yes they do. Do not allow anyone to lie about this unknown manipulation method. Then they set the trap , I will term this a momentum trap.
Once thousands of new, younger investors take that bait / buy CYDY at double or triple it's price of a week ago and set the STOP Loss order preached as a method of investing by unwitting University Professors; the shorts will then sell as many shares short as possible and slam the shares down. Beware of shorts. They have one goal. Remove your funds from your pocket and put your former funds into their pocket.
All the above you can take to the Bank. Meaning? There is zero doubt. Their own written "confessions" admit this crime. Manipulation is a crime.
P.S> In my entire history I have NEVER entered one Stop Loss Order. NONE. I suggest readers consider that point.
