Oh yes I know these people at Citron. They were my pals on the yahoo message board. But Xena the head Guy, I guess that’s Bill deleted all of my past messages for a year back so I guess the friendship is off. It;s good to know he is not the Rumainian Mafia and just a legitament business man. I don’t fault him for recomending a stock and then shorting it. But I do fault him for seeding the message board with 2000 different I.Ds which is the majority of posters on the Yahoo message board. I like the fact that you mentioned that they do a short number on the IBD 100. One of Bill’s I.D.s alluded to that ploy many months ago back when I thought I was messaging to many different people. I can’t beat him I’ll just join them.

If you’re referring to me as “you people” I never said I had a problem with short sellers, in fact I’m a big fan of short selling and it’s an important part of my strategy… and as I mentioned above believe the research is very good and should be commended. I’d like to see more people expose this kind of stuff in companies particularly when it comes to companies working with spammers. Thanks for the post.

Whaaaat, let Citron take their profits, we should all have positions in the stocks we write about–it makes it more meaningful! You people just don’t like short sellers, especially when a short sellers call is correct. Puffy articles at Smartmoney.com, Seeekingalpha.com (2 of them on November 25th!) and IBD did nothing for the stock, but when a short seller comes in (and he doesn’t have a very large following–def. not as many as these other “media outlets”) and tears the stock a new one, he should be congratulated for the call.
