I believe that "Short and Distort" should be included here as a variation of "Pump and Dump". Both techniques involve taking positions ahead of spreading false news that drives the stock into a profitable position for the crook. "Short and Distort" is accepted nomenclature on Wall Street. Google the expression for verification. Instead of creating an entirely new page, why not include here? Polihale 20:21, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not saying it doesn't deserve to be mentioned, just not in this article. You can certainly mention it in the short selling article but I would suggest that you cite a WP:V example of it actually happening, from the SEC website. Also you've exaggerated its importance by putting it in the first paragraph. --Mantanmoreland 20:31, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
