Thanks and GL2U, also. Haven't changed my tune. It is almost always dilution. Just tried to explain how the shorting is done. It still ends up as dilution. When market makers short to keep making a market, a very large majority of the time they are covered within 3 trading days. Just be careful of posters screaming "naked shorting" and "moass" and like themed posts. Not all but some have a different agenda. Here's a post I made up and send once in a while to help out. Remember if you can't verify you go from investing to gambling. Best of luck to you

If you hear it, especially on an internet posting, have serious doubts until you can verify it. If you can't verify it continue to doubt the posting. If it can only be verified through the company IR people or paid 3rd parties, still have doubts about what you have read. The only true verifications are SEC filings and independant disinterested 3rd party verifications of any info you deem suspect- and that should be all info unless you can verify it. I've been called a lot of things over the years pointing out suspicions and unverified "facts" by other posters looking to hype the stock. Funny thing is those people disappear when the stock price tanks as they have sold out to the ones believing their hype. And they usually don't work alone. They gang up on and label negative postings as bashing and accuse the poster of shorting(virtually impossible on penny stocks) or being a "paid basher". They even refer you to web sites that list the itinerary of the "paid bashers". Truth be told I've heard a lot of hype about the paid basher but have yet to meet one anywhere. I hear a lot of references but have never seen any hard evidence that they exist nor has anyone that "knows" they exist been able to verify the "fact." If you stay in this penny stock arena long enough you realize that the handle "thief" is not restricted to robbers and muggers breaking criminal laws. Anyone reading this post feel free to copy and paste it into one of your own personal files. Before you buy a penny stock based on an internet posting, go back and reread it. It could save you a heck of a lot of money.
