"IM CALLING THIS YEAR A MULLIGAN...., WE GOT DERAILED AND NEED TO GET BACK ON TRACK" Patrick Byrnes Quoted from the interview Bet you wish you had a mulligan for when you bought the stock flytiger.
Go back and read the "really" old posts. Nobody fears their power more than me. Look at SAC Capitals post about a double bottom. I was hoping for his sake he was right. But those are the things they key on. When they are unable to take out support, that will be the true end. But until, tiptoe. They are powerful.. I don't doubt they can break twenty on the downside. Let me ask you something. You got nothing out of the Senators, the "guns and badges" the Cramer, the millions of short shares? All you got was the mulligan quote? That's it. That whole piece. The mulligan quote. Can you get a good job these days with a GED? I hope I don't get in trouble for "chatting" with someone who obviously is a twelve year old boy.
A very important read. Before you get your knickers in a knot, remember that Amir "Tony" Elgindy is awaiting sentencing. Remember his parents were Egyptian Doctors who fronted for Terrorist organizations in the 70's, and that much of the trial transcripts are sealed. http://thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanityCheckBlog/tabid/56/EntryID/284/Default.aspx Run a search on Dr. Dr. Herbert Batliner, or Marc Rich, maybe it's "mark", I can't recall. See what they do for "livings". Ask yourself if Byrne is half right, and say 5mm shares are illegally short at, say, $40, where's the money? If your short account has excess equity in it, what do you do? Leave it there? Have a nice day.
Ok so I should fear the power of a company wherte the CEO admitted that he had a terrible year, yet he blames the shortsellers for the downfall?? riggggggggghhhhhhhhtttttt what a powerful company, why dont you wakeup and pay attention to all of the bad stuff that has happened within the company, instead of jumping on board with a halfwit who blames a fictional character for driving down his stock price, ohhhhhhhh but wait, you are a martyr along with Byrnes and you guys are going to rid the world of the evil shortsellers, tell me something flytiger if you are on a crusade against shortselling why is everything you post geared towards OSTK and the CEO??? why dont you come out and tell us the truth, you bought the top didnt you??? now you are holding on to your leveraged position hoping it doesnt wipe you out. Full disclosure, why dont you let people know your cost basis for the shares you currently own in OSTK and then let all the people on this thread decide for themselves what a hypster POS you are. Oh and BTW dont try to play the indifference card, saying "i Hope SAC capital wasright about the double bottom for his own sake, not mine" you threw this card out the window a long time ago. Oh yeah, and here is a link to where any rational individual would stand in terms of OSTK's CEO http://www.fool.com/news/commentary...=stock&formtype=&mkttype=&pathname=&page=news
Here is another one, the retard strikes again http://www.thestreet.com/_nasdaq/comment/dumbest/10285156_5.html
You shouldn't fear anybody if you've done nothing wrong. I've discussed my postition many times here in this thread. When I say I "fear" the naked short sellers, please make the distinction, I mean they can move the stock anyway they want. Real money is overwhelmed by fake stock everytime. Not arguable. 9 mill reported short, less than 7 at the Dtcc. I've thought about starting a Naked Short Thread. Byrne simply picked up the baton. He has said many times that this is not about OVerstock. If you read the posts, listen to the interview, and I doubt you have, you'd realize what this is about. There is enough information in this thread to make any rational person understand we have a huge problem here. Overstock's fundies were never an issue. These guys are smart. They pick on companies w/warts, or companies so new, they can't get momentum. But we've said that for six months, and you guys crawl out of the woodwork with the same crap every time the moon is full. The fool.com? They have strayed way off it's original mission. They are simple pitchmen for their own crap. They used to say they stood up for the little guy. But the hedgies have so much power, everybody cowtows to them. You should realize by now I have more than a passive interest in this. That I know a little bit about what's going on. I only post stuff that I know is extremely relevant. There are things going on that PB doesn't know about. Regardless, if you listen to the radio interview, he says very important things. Feds mean RICO. Bennett, Hatch, US Senators, and he didn't mention all on his side. They move like molasses, but when they move, the earth shakes. Rico means some of your heroes are going to be doing the horizonal bop with some very big tatooed men. Even the mob fears Rico.I can't wait. I'm sure the videos will hit the net. Now if you'd like to debate, get some facts. Make a cogent point. I'm sorry. Make your arguments in rational, well thought out fashion. But give me some facts, please. I'll give you one irrefutable fact. They haven't been able to settle OSTK trades in over 200 and somebusiness days. Do you think that's a bit odd? Let's settle the trades, then we can discuss the merits of the little internet retailer that could (n't). And let's be civil. Why sound like you grew up in a bar watchin' mom dance (not that there's anything wrong with that). Now, your homework. Take a bi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ig yellow pad, and draw a line down the middle. You can stay in the thread; there's plenty of information here. On the left, list all the factual information you can find that says there are NAKED shorts. As a subset, list any facts that lead to manipulation of which naked shorting could be a part of. Make notes. Rocker threatened a counter suit that never came. He resigned. Why hasn't there been more press or consternation or condemnation over that.? Byrne 's father mentioned one sentence and it got reams of coverage. On the other side, list all the proof you have things are fine. That's all. And date everythnig, because the list on the left grows everyday. On that left side., put down there have been three death threats against people I know, that I can vouch for. How desparate must they be? No that's not factual. Only my word. Don't put that down. But it's true. Hey, I've got an idea. I already know the answer. You guys have big monies w/brokers. Get ahold of back office clearing firms, and ask them if they feel any pressure over this. That would be useful and would make a relevant post instead of these, "Oh yeah"s?. Is that fair? I didn't think so. But do it anyway.
Gasparino reporting SEC shifting investigation from Gradiant to SAC. Cohen has hired four huge firms to defend. Take this, the Weiss saga (an article a day in both NYT and WSJ, and move it to the left side of the pad. You can see it coming. Pretty predictable yesterday they would try to print a 52 week low in OSTK.
