If you are positioned short, you can great a level of activity to drive the futures down that doesn't take too much money. It is a fun and lucrative game. You can boost the futures and the when the market comes in to sell, it can create a negative atmosphere. That's a strategy that is worth doing, and you should definitely do it, because it is legal, and it is a quick way to make some money. No one else in the world would ever tell you this.

You've got to control the market. If you are short, then you've got to keep the market down. You aren't allowed to foment, but you can do it anyway because the SEC doesn't understand it. It is important to foment if you need to stay in the game. If you see a guy who is bidding, you can wipe him out right away. You can knock down a stock like RIMM with about 15 million dollars. You can call a bozo reporter and tell them that a competitor is going to come out with a great product, and that can keep the stock down as well.

With a stock like AAPL, you can spread a rumor that the other related businesses don't like their new product. Apple is a great company to do this with, because they won't comment on the rumor. It is an effective way to keep the stock down. You can create an image that there will be big news next week that frightens everyone. These are the kinds of things that happen in the market that you don't see.

Don't do anything remotely truthful. You have to develop a new truth. If you are desperate, then you can take these actions. The mechanics of the market are much more important than the fundamentals. Eventually, buyers will come to their senses and realize everything is a lie. If you can get your rumor on CNBC, then you can play these moves for a percent or two.

  • It is so funny since its human nature to brag about your accomplishments, good or bad. In this case it is obvious.

  • Hilarious! Snake Oil salesman Cramer. Is he the Bozo reporter today?

  • Shorts and Longs should be banned especially on the Paper PM markets - its should all be linked back to audited physical amounts - stop the thievery and do a real job #pocketinfo
