Rennie,
Yes, it's the jungle out there. There are bad people in the stockmarkets.
No worries, my message is not directed at you personally. I simply cannot stand shorters and bashers with hidden/ulterior motives.
Buying low when there is an opportunity (not resulting from own plot) would be fine. I would do the same if there is an opportunity to do so. The idea is to buy low and sell high. There is nothing wrong with making (or trying to make) some money, but it has to be in an ethical way.
