>>By the way, have you noticed the kind of flak I've been getting? This is the sort of thing that gives me the warm fuzzies whenever I short a stock. I'd be very concerned if the mood turned downright pessimistic and everyone wanted to be my friend!<<

Shorts almost always catch flak on online stock forums. I wouldn't use it as a contrarian sentiment indicator because it really isn't. It's just that some people get offended when others do a negative writeup on their stock.

>>What really gives me a good laugh is all the chatter that goes on whenever the price moves up. Sort of reminds me of gamblers around a dice table who scream, "See..see?!? I told you you should've bet on boxcars on that last roll!!"<<

Nothing new here...you should see the chatter among the shorts when the stock goes down. Most people naturally like to post when the stock is going their way. I'm sure some people get a good laugh about your chatter whenever the price moves down.
