Questions:

1. If Bruce were short, what would be his motivation to recommend it as a buy? That would only hurt his own position.

2. If you wait for short interest to go down and THEN buy, wouldn't it be too late?

This stock falls into a class of 4th dimension OBFUSCATION stocks under attack because Someone wants to get control of this company. As investors we MUST learn the difference in the tactics used and for what purpose. Price suppression ie shorting has goals, the two most prevalent are
1. Profit from Overvaluation.
2. Accumulation of shares driven out in times of uncertainty.

Hedge funds are active in this market with respect to both opportunities, they are Accumulating positions by destroying the value of investors accounts forcing sales. The Mutual fund industry is being particularly hard hit by these tactics right now. ALL the FUD is forcing investors to give up their accounts, enabling the vultures to get control of Americas most valuable forward looking assetts.

This is the market today.

Know the game and stalk this bear with a clear head.
