Motley Fool has created a useful tool for short manipulation by this service, and EEE provides a great example. This stock is obviously speculative in that it doesn't have significant ongoing operations. It's built a laboratory plant for coal beneficiation, removing moisture, mercury, and other pollutants and increasing the BTU's in otherwise worthless Western coal. It's shipping the coal to utilities for test burns at this time. In the two years, I've owned, it's done everything it said it would do, and it has an outstanding board and CEO whose compensation is tied to the stock tripling from its present price.

The stock is also subject to a huge short position, including naked shorts. It's the only NYSE stock currently on the Reg Sho list. The shorts, led by the noted fraudster Manuel Asensio (barred for life by the NASD), have assaulted the company with a barrage of false rumors. The message boards at Yahoo are full of this garbage, and Motley Fool's service has given them a new platform to post the same type of unreasoned attacks. Motley Fool runs the same of risks that Yahoo experiences of the shorts and pumpers competing for easy numbers without any kind of analysis with this service.

I love your user name and think it is appropriate.
I also look forward to your other stock picks.

The idea that CAPS can manipulate real stock prices is hilarious.

I dunno, CAPS seems to have a definite effect sometimes. But I think people like him are hyping a conspiracy theory.

Bad Companies go down, Good Companies go up. Sometimes it takes forever for the market to realize this, but it will in the end.

I think you're suffering from ownership bias.

I'll digress that you may have some fraudsters on the short side, but I think that it takes more research (and more conviction) to be short on something than it does to be long. Shorting has a much higher downside than going long if the trend isn't in your favor. I think if there's a broad base of shorts out there ganging up on a stock, there's often a good reason. Shorts aren't evil, they serve a valuable service in the marketplace. They expose the dreck and get the price down closer to the intrinsic value of the dreck.
