To a point that is true. I will actually be reporting a manipulator on the long side this week - I don't like manipulation in either direction as they both hurt real investors. I believe manipulation goes both ways (long and short). As you will see by my seeking alpha instablog I believe "pump and dump" and "bash and crash" are one in the same and both negative for shareholders.
Similar to fraud going both ways in china at the moment. There some fraud at the company level and there is rampant fraud at the hit piece level.
I can understand why manipulators don't like what I am doing as they find "bash and crash" as easy money and clearly don't want to see it go away. There is a reason its "easy money" as its illegal - just as "pump and dump" is illegal.
If you are trying to use Jim Cramer as an example as to what is ok that is a complete joke. He admittedly traded on inside information. I will happily look into Navellier's reports. I assume they also write extensive reports without also talking to managements about the integrity of the companies?
Just because you can point to examples of others front run articles that doesn’t mean it’s legal. Also look at the manipulation of the market post the reports (long and short). That is also illegal. Shadow bids and asks are also illegal. Naked shorting is also illegal. Unfortunately the SEC and authorities do not have the capacity to research this themselves so I am offering my services - hence why I have reported them and why I continue to point it out to them in multiple venues and privately.
