Agree,
I never could understand the logic of an "investor" publicly stating on a public discussion forum that they have a large position and that they intend to liquidate that position soon...
Why allow people to short circuit your sale?
Either that person is a complete amateur venting his frustration or a trader looking to influence the shares prices down...
Why do that, maybe to cover a short position or buy a position cheaper...
Is that legal no, but the regulators won't do anything about it...
Their tell-tell sign to identify these type of posters, either they are using a new anonymous identity... or they are people that spent a lot of time posting on all types of Forum (these ones are usually the paid pumper and bashers)...
My two cents anyway...
