Campaignbox Streight s Raid in Alabama and Georgia File Streight s Raid route.png 305px right thumb Map of locations involved in Streight s Raid Streight s Raid took place from 19 April to 3 May, 1863 in northern Alabama. It was led by Colonel Abel Streight Abel D. Streight , who s goal was to destroy parts of the Western and Atlantic railroad, which was supplying the Confederate Army of Tennessee. The raid was poorly supplied and planned, and ended with the defeat and capture of Streight and his men at Cedar Bluff, Alabama by Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest . Streight was additionally hindered by locals throughout his march, while pursued by Forrest, who had the advantage of home territory and the sympathy and aid of the local populace, most famously Emma Sansom . The actual capture of Streight s forces was achieved by a clever ruse, when Forrest paraded his much smaller force back and forth in front of Streight, convincing Streight that he was opposed by a superior force. After surrendering and being informed of the deception Streight reputedly demanded his arms back for a proper fight, a request cheerfully declined by Forrest. This unsuccessful raid was coordinated with the more famous Grierson s Raid , partially as a feint to confuse the Confederate forces. Able Streight was a book publisher in Indianapolis, Indiana. He was commissioned Colonel of the 51st Indiana Volunteer Infantry Brigade on September 4, 1861.

A bear raid is a type of stock market strategy, where a Trader finance trader or group of traders attempts to force down the price of a stock to cover a short selling short position . The name is derived from the common use of Market trend bear or bearish in the language of market sentiment to reflect the idea that investors expect downward price movement. A bear raid can be done by spreading negative rumor s about the target firm, which puts downward pressure on the share price. This is typically considered a form of securities fraud . Alternatively, traders could take on large short positions themselves, with the large volume of selling ideally causing the price to fall, making the strategy self perpetuating.
