The law is a wonderful thing. I have had the privilege of being a law clerk to a trial court judge. This experience gives a wonderful insight into what a judge can and will do, what he will listen to and what actually can offend him. You can easily imagine just how useful this information can be. First, your have the right to have your stock trade freely without manipulation and without fraud. As all are aware, the securities laws have many anti-manipulation rules and even more anti-fraud rules. These rules are just as potent against the shorts as they are against public companies. Many people do not realize that they are just as potent against people who knowingly help the shorts – brokers, traders, market-makers, financial journalists, analysts, and public relations professionals included. There are also the state and federal laws against fraud that can be brought into play. Second, you have the right not to have your company defamed. Not only can you stop the shorts from putting out false information about you, you can stop the media from publishing it.
