Bashers are many colored I would guess some are investors that think they know it all...some are working for the Hedge Funds I would imagine and some are just fools playing around...either way they are not totally useless they can bring down the O/S by tree shaking for the company and do provide the negative DD the longs don't look for as much...the really nasty ones are Root eating Naked Short Selling Hedge Hogs that destroy the whole stock and all it's shareholders to reap FANTASTIC PROFITS...like they love to advertise...IMO...oem
