re: HOMS...getting verbally bashed by would-be shorters, while stock just keeps going up.

Very amusing. Shorts might be in for a lot of trouble on that one.

I personally don't care for the biz or policies behind HOMS and was forced to pay plenty of money to participate in that website for quite a while and paid for some extra benefits and services....but there's no denying its value as the one and only website where buyers and sellers can see virtually all the homes listed by Realtors across the country--and where there is a guaranteed mechanism for keeping those listings updated. No other website will ever accomplish this one-stop shopping aspect, because the industry is too fragmented and the Internet/dotcom landscape is too big.

Hopefully anyone shorting this stock is aware that much misinformation has been spread all over SI for a long time about how HOMS works, where it gets its money, how other similar websites pale in comparison, etc. etc.

But heck, maybe I'll trying shorting it too. LOL!!
<edit> on second thought, no I won't. Too much institutional support for the stock.
