A Hedge Fund Strategy Designed to Take Down 'Bad' Companies
Activists Boycott 'Bad' Co.'s + Hedge Funds Sell-Short 'Bad' Co.'s
eco warriors for the ecology and economy unite
Resist the Corporate Occupation
(1) Avoid wasting time with your campaigns - attack stock prices!
(2) You don't need money. Hedge funds will attack a company's stock price for you with short-sales if you bait them correctly with boycotts.
(3) As a company's stock price falls, more money is made by hedge funds, who may donate a portion of their gains to causes suggested by activists in exchange for increasing the size of their boycotts.
