I was wondering why it tanked.


This is my employer so we were all a little nervous yesterday.

It looks like this "short seller" put an article out accusing the company of several things.

My question is : How could one person's opinion or story rock an 11 Billion Dollar company that way, seems like someone's arse would be going to jail unless it's true.

I guess it depends on the evidence in the story.

That's a classic pump and dump (except in the opposite direction). Fuzzy Panda needs to answer to the SEC.

Hasn’t that short seller done this to several stocks? They sound familiar

Because its more than just an article.

These hit pieces are common, and are usually bought/contracted by hedge funds and other groups under the table to give pretext for a coordinated short attack.
