BioC, what you're saying is often true, I've seen many longs get so mad at management that they criticize everything that's happening. Unfortunately, I've also never seen a real basher who's willing to say that they're being paid for doing what they do.
Some bashers may themselves be short, while others are paid. Frankly frustrated investors often become a company's worst enemy even though they're actually long the stock.
I believe the stock market was a much fairer playing field when 1/32 of a dollar was about the smallest margin permitted between bid and ask, and most of the time it was much larger. Computers trading at hundredths of a penny make it a market that individuals need to hope that they're on the side of those moving the market long term.
