American Superconductor: You Have to Read It to Believe It

Sounds like short-selling panic and sour grapes to me. The author is essentially accusing AMSC management of nothing less than indictable fraud. If it were true that management was using phony press releases to run up the stock while management bailed on its the SEC would be all over them in a minute. Management at a small biotech I follow did exactly that and suffered the consequences.

I have owned a modest position in this stock for over 5 years and I have never gotten a whiff of the dishonorable behavior the author hints at here. And don't forget: all the news lately has been about wind generation components--but AMSC has a lot more going for it than that.
