Why does a company with a positive 150 million in cash, borrow more while their demand is going thru the roof???
Good Question... Unfortunately the only way this company seems to be able to raise that cash is by issuing shares of stock through splits and secondaries, and the issuance of debt:
Annual Cash
marketguide.com
Quarterly Cash

and now for the really scary part... the two gaps in the chart from 12/2/99 at $8.708 to $9.33 on 12/3/99
and the following gap 1/7/00 at $11.33 on friday to a monday gap up and following intraday low at $11.75

I just wonder what these extra 8 million shorts know that we don't?

Your last sentence says it all though Keith,
in this ugly market, we may very well see $10 before we see $30.....
A few things that will always signal the distinct possibility of rampant manipulation in price... convertible financing issues, private placements and secondary offerings.
IBD ranks this company pretty high which is good, even though I believe they have slipped a bit in the last couple weeks. Unfortunately the ranking which are the lowest are in the balance sheet indicators
