Grief has 5 phases: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.

I view this sort of childish lashing-out as the second phase of grief - anger, misdirected
in this case at someone who has taken the opposite side of the trade.

FRPT was a bad investment and is not the "shorts fault". A long has no one to blame but
themselves.

Armored vehicle maker Force Protection (FRPT) has been slammed down to the single digits
on fears that their sole product might be on the way out in government spending. Who
knows? The CEO says the company is doing fine, but the downtrending stock price is much
more convincing. If the stock price is meant to make up lost ground, it should have no
problem breaking out past $6, which it has not been able to do for the past few months.
Avoid until the stock shows some strength.

Lord, long time ago since I heard the "it's only the shorts fault". Don't you have
something better?

The FRPT yahoo message board says it all...LONGS are sick and tired of the naked short
selling and we are going to squeeze the shorts tomorrow

If you own shares of FRPT (Force Protection) then you are probably in the house of pain,
and this is largely a result of illegal market manipulation...if you own shares in a cash
acct put a GTC order in and set the price very high say $30 so that the brokers won't lend
your shares out....there is a ridiculous amount of naked selling going on in this name and
it is time to make the shorts pay...
