Yeah, I'm having troubles finding much on it... ah well. Good for you making some dough on it. These situations have great potential, but to me they're really risky. I don't understand OSTK yet, but someone with more guts than me is gonna make a lot of money on it. The thing is all over the...

Is that expedia? I remember hearing something along those lines..... -The New Guy

haha no, but I'll look it up. I think one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time was Byrne asking people to call in their stock certificates.... I mean, talk about the ULTIMATE short squeeze! Can you imagine the pandemonium at some BD's? -The New Guy

Yes, it's fact, yes it can be proven, and yes it's all here: http://www.shareholder.com/overstock/downloads/TranscriptLawsuit.pdf "If so why hasn't the NASD/SEC halted trading in OSTK to investigate?" That's the exact question Byrne and the rest of us are asking. He's saying look...

Eh, I think they just know that no one is in their way, and nothing is going to be done to stop them. Seriously, I know Byrne has built up a solid team to take on these guys, but think of the rap sheet behind the few that are "known". They have money, they have power, they don't need to play...

I don't believe this to be true. These guys are operating with a TON of dough. Phenomenal amounts really. The also have the advantage of being able to sell any amount of shares they want. How long are buyers going to buy a stock that NEVER moves up even when the buying pressure is huge...

Matthews owns puts and is actively bashing the stock. 'nuff said in my books. -The New Guy

No, of course that would be a problem. Same as any of a thousand hypothetical situations that could occur. I'm just saying that it's FAR more suspicious that JM writes massive essays about this, given that the time of the release is the only thing to go on. Seriously, read that article, it's...

The thing that really impresses me about this case is that Byrne is operating on a level that people are not getting. Everybody's making fun of him for his references, but they all mean something. This sith lord crap is hilarious... he's telling us who he's talking about, and those of us who...

that's not the impression I get from reading his confernece call transcripts. He pleads several times to let the market determine the stock's price. I tell you, he's not hyping his company, he's VERY candid about the direction it's going. More so than any CEO I've ever listened to. I really...

Hey, you win the prize for being the first to make me look up a word from ET! hahaha Yeah, complicity, lethargy, bureaucracy, lack of comprehension... I'm not willing to say that the SEC is fully involved, but at times, it sure looks like some of the people are. The media is just plain...

I'm not going to take this bet simply cuz I assume by "REAL" you mean a company with good fundamentals and good performance. These schemes don't target companies like that, so no, there probably aren't any cases like that. However, if you think about it, if you're a large pool of money...

If you read some of the stuff Byrne has put out he actually calls out Jeff Matthews on several occasions as one of the journalists who is paid to bash overstock. I am not prone to believe this, but when you read Jeff's stuff, you realize it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and VERY much...

That's not my impression at all. In one of the conference calls the CEO states that he WANTS the market to determine the price of the stock, not the manipulators. He understands the company is not doing stellar, and the price is definately going to reflect that. But when hedgies can make up...

No, but you may want to remove "Smash and Grab". ;) -The New Guy

I haven't checked this case in a week or two now, but the original concern wasn't about shorting. The dude is compaining about naked shorting, which is illegal. When he can account for %90 of the shares outstanding, and there are 6 million shares short on book, something like 4 million larger...

I haven't been shorting yet, but the short (no pun intended) time I've been watching the short set ups, they seem to work out rather well. The shorts seem to have more FBO's or break evens (IMHO) but when they hit, the seem to travel further and faster. Just some general observations on a...

Did anybody take the RADS short? - The New Guy

Can you PM me instead of this journal then? I wont be negative, and I was really interested in seeing this.... :D - The New Guy

Depends how long he plans on holding these trades. If he's consistently up a point by the time he posts the trade, then yeah, looks fishy. If it's unmoved, or moved against but then makes his point later, don't you think there's worth to that? - The New Guy
