too many bullets to dodge

Everywhere I look on the market I see companies which were looking good one day and then are getting smashed the next.

I'm not talking about price falls caused by economic jitters.

I'm referring to non timely release of material information by companies, short sellers being rampant, prices being smashed on inside information, prices being smashed due to sudden changes in factors outside of the control of the company, good news being sold in to.

Is it just me, or am I just imagining that things are worse than ever these days.
