'Short and distort' clutter message boards, which makes it very difficult for an investor to verify the claims. Any individual that attempts to contradict their claims becomes the target of their attacks. In other words, the market manipulator will do everything in his or her power to keep the truth from coming out and keep the targeted stock's price heading down.

S&D main goal is to profit by shorting a stock prior to smearing the stock publicly. The theory is that frightening the stock's investors will cause them to flee en masse, thereby causing a decline in the share price.

S&D manipulate stock prices by taking short positions and then using a smear campaign to drive down the price of the targeted stock.

Objective research reports provide reasoned arguments for and against a share. Key factors such as management expertise, competitive advantages, and cash flows are cited as evidence to support the recommendation.

There was nothing objective about Shadowfall's report.

The 'short and distort' uses misinformation to manipulate stocks. S&D is illegal, as is its counterpart, the pump, and dump.

There are so many shorters and distorters with their spurious claims.

KEY GIVEAWAYS

Short and distort (S&D) refers to an unethical and illegal practice that involves shorting a stock and then spreading rumors in an attempt to drive down its price.
S&D manipulate stock prices conducting smear campaigns, often online, to drive down the price of the targeted stock.
A short-and-distorter's scheme can only succeed if you let them manipulate you
A 'short and distort' is the inverse of the better known 'pump and dump' tactic.

The best way to protect yourself is to do your own research. Many stocks with great potential are often ignored. By doing your own homework, you should feel much more secure in your decisions. And, even if the Short & Distorters attack your stock, you will be better able to detect their distortions and be less likely to fall prey to their spurious claims.

Here comes Angleterre with more spurious claims. I wonder what his game might be.

When they're trying so hard to get you to panic and sell so they can get the share price down as far as possible. This behaviour must tell you that they know Boohoo is an excellent share and they're trying their best to buy back in on the cheap so they can make money out of you.

And I guess that explains the many more target prices of £4 and £4.30.

Sadly people will be reading these articles in the papers today and will be panicked into selling.

And yet another one comes out of the woodwork - No Aim No Gain

Another one comes out of the woodwork - MajorLoses.

Writing on bb does affect the share price. Research has shown it does. That is another excuse used by people like you that it doesn't affect the share price so you can get away with trying to manipulate people into panicking and selling their shares so you can buy them back cheap.

They even use subject headings like terrible times to panic you into selling. This is all trying to manipulate you so don't let them do that.

When they're trying so hard to get you to panic and sell to get the share price down then that should tell you that they know this is an excellent share and they're trying their best to buy back in on the cheap.

Buffaloben - another one trying to get you to panic and sell. The evidence is in his past posts too.

I wouldn't have cost them money because they won't have panicked and sold like you want them to do. They would still be holding because they know Boohoo shares will get back past £3.60. They also know that you know this and that you want to buy them cheaper so you can make more money when they get past £3.60 again and go up even further.

Pumping and dumping is as toxic as what you're trying to do. Holding excellent shares for years makes you money.

You mean let people be panicked into selling so you can buy them back cheap. Stop trying so hard to get people to panic and sell so you can make money from them.

Thank you Snowwoman. You are brilliant. We need more and more of us to email the FCA at whistle@fca.org.uk

The share price is going down today because some holders will only have read about the Shadowfall report today and sadly are panicking and selling.

It looks like BeefcakeBrutus is trying to get on the bandwagon by trying to get you to panic and sell so he can buy in cheap.

streets36 is looking to buy Boohoo shares at £2.80 according to his post of 14 May 2020 at 22.34. He's trying to get you to panic and sell for the price to go down to £2.80 so he can buy back in and make money out of you.

Always check back on posters previous posts to find out what they're up to and what they're trying to get you to do. The evidence is all there in their past posts.

Don't listen to streets36 because he wants you to panic and sell your shares so he can buy them back cheap and make money out of you. They'll all be coming out of the woodwork to panic you into selling so they can buy your shares cheap and make money out of you. Don't let them do that to you.

Lyndhurst - that's exactly what Shadowfall wants to achieve. They want people to panic and get out. If you do that, then you're letting them make millions out of you and they'll continue to do it.

Don't ever think the FCA can do nothing. If loads of us email the FCA then they have to do something. All you have to do is state in your email to the FCA that you believe the Shadowfall report is misleading, wrong and has left out important information on purpose. Then the FCA have to investigate Shadowfall's report.

The FCA email address is whistle@fca.org.uk Don't let anyone put you off emailing the FCA. I've already emailed the FCA and it took a few minutes.
