    seems you dont need to be naked to short OSTK. I found a borrow for it
    yesterday and sold a bit


    Wonder what the risk/reward is here? But, have at it shorts. I don't think shorts fight as hard as they are if they are really comfortable w/their decision. Better than network TV, but so is castor oil.

  5. isn't it interesting that BIDU is crunching to new lows on the day ater making the threshold llist yesterday.

    Isn't it great to sell short w/o any borrow to a large degree, and just wait it out.???? Wouldn't you like that advantage. Yah, those hedgies are just smarter than you and me.

    And gee, isn't it too bad these hedgies "don't know nothin' bout' no naked shortin' Miss Scarlett." Sure, it's my dogs. They set up a desk in the yard.

    SHAMEON THE REGULATORS.

    Not every stock that moves down is a result of naked shorting. I would assume BIDU is dropping because almost every mom & pop investor that has purchased this stock is looking at loss that is growing larger and larger every day.

  8. these street dot scum ppl are proving byrne's point. saying shit like "tin foil" and putting the guys picture with UFO's is so out of line. shows that they are in on it and are desperate to make this thing go away.

    if they want to talk about clinically ill individuals they need not go any further than Cramer. he is atrophying to an embarrassing level. i am actually starting to become embarrassed for him.

    they can spin all of this any way they want but it still doesn't make the "fails" go away.

    as far as the sith lord reference goes this is just a clever way of telling Milken they are onto his thievery. milken used "star wars" references back in his first round of crimes, byrnes is actually making fun of the guy.

    So, not only are you long OSTK but BIDU too? You whine and bitch too much. No one cares about OSTK and their crazy CEO.

    Byrne's a bit more lucid here:
