hedge funds and shorting

I thought this applicable to ARI.

I borrowed this from another site but thought it was interesting...

Hedge funds which hunt in packs will now have them firmly in their sights. The STANDARD operating procedure for these sorts of trades is AGRESSIVELY short the stock, SPREAD the word to the press why you are doing so, get AS MANY negative stories in the press as you can and keep the pressure on the stock and management until they are forced into the dilutive equity issue, where the hedge funds use that capital raising as their short covering opportunity and walk off into the sunset with a big bag of money.

ASIC know full well this is going on and do nothing.
