@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ >>a gradual withdrawal of the short interest would maintain the price at current or slightly higher levels.<< My experience with heavily shorted stocks is that rallies retrace to a high degree -- some quicker than others -- probably as a result of shorts re-entering. Perhaps the difference in our opinion relates to the speed at which the short covering occurs. If we have a too rapid run-up, you are probably correct about retracing. If the short position is covered gradually, i believe we will see a relatively stable price rise with little sustained back-sliding. I'm ok with either scenario. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ >>there are a lot of areas within the realm of KVI that have the potential to produce strong, surprising, positive news<< Like what? The procedure numbers are bad and that's put a strain on proctoring (not enough procedures to get doctors proctored in one session) which in turn has put a strain on training (staff is focusing on proctoring). Your statement that procedure #s are "bad" is simply incorrect. The strain on proctoring is a result of training 600 idocs instead of the anticipated 200. As for surprises...well, that is why they are called surprises. No one expects them. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ >>The upswing in institutional ownership also can be interpreted as positively supporting this proposition<< Institutional ownership swung up to over 40% and then back down to 30% after the revenue warning. The only way I could see this move sustaining is if there is an offer on the table -- something I am suspicious of, but I'm taking my chances. I don't think a buyout is an option at this point. JMHO. Institutions now own about 35%, up from around 20% six weeks ago. ** Good luck, Phil
