I would imagine he is getting paid to do this. Why else would he say those things? The company is providing absolutely no guidance. If he gets paid personally for a comment who cares if one stock in his fund doesn't workout. The rest smooth it over. Can anyone chime in if they have seen this happen before?

The only thing that may resemble this is when Mcwhirther pumped Poynt on a BNN market minute. He said they will be closing financing in a few days for 6 cents and one could expect to see 20 cents. In one month it was bankrupt!
