First off Spiny, maybe the financing entity shorted the stock after the intial meeting with SFMI? Looking for a business loan 101 would no doubt entail divulging a business plan to the proposed lender. What if the proposed lender saw that said company didn't have anything good cooking for 5-6 months and somehow shorted the stock beforehand? C'mon man, we're a country full of opportunists and it wouldn't surprise me a bit if that's the way it happened. Look at Goldman Sachs that shorted bundled mortgages while they were selling them to investors that were long. This stock was manipulated down despite BOUTS saying it was simply investors that were frustrated. His track record is less than stellar unless the word "fireworks" catupults you to special status. I'm long and strong SFMI but you guys need to quit sugarcoating everything. Tell it like it is and be open to possibilities, you're as closed minded as the bashers on iflub.
