The more we understand their games, the more we can profit from them. I had greatly lightened my position for other opportunities, but started buying back in today. I see the one analyst's $28 target as the absolute possible bottom, but the closer we get to first quarter earnings the less opportunity there will be to buy in at these low prices.

Steve - Are you saying that shorts are paid? Why would anyone pay shorts?

Shorts are rewarded if the price goes down by being short, just as longs are rewarded when the price goes up.

Are you saying that a hedge fund is paying posters to post negative posts? Aren't these posts negated by those who are paid to write positive posts?

Are you implying that paid shorts or their posts can have a material effect on the share price?
