Pointless in there are so many other things that are way more important to our investment than this and it did not need 85 posts and 2 hours of discussion. Now we've got peps putting in GTC's(does nothing) and all kinds of other stuff when what we should really be discussing is wether or not Dean got funded yesterday. That is the ONLY thing that matters and if he did, shorting will not make a damn bit of difference in the PPS rise.
I've seen this idea recycled over and over on other boards. I have to wonder whether this whole idea proves to be futile. It certainly doesn't hurt to try, but it does seem like a lot of focus is being put on something that isn't going to have the impact some seem to think it will. I've never seen it benefit anywhere else. Doesn't mean it hasn't or won't....but I wonder, if the MM's wanted it down so bad can't they just naked short even if you lock up every share in the float anyways?
...If you're one that plans on doing this, you should also be able to email your broker and request no loaning if for some reason you can't call during the day.
