""""Tell me one thing though. Why did the short position in ESST ramp up to 40% of the float after they beat earnings by 10 cents? Why would there be such a heavy short action on a stock with a PEG of .40 and PE of 11? Plus how did they make it work?"""" because it could? I know that doesn't give you the words you wanted to hear....but that's the way I look at it....I have no surprises because I expect to be surprised and the feeling has worn thin.... It's not unlike accepting the fact that you will face a firing squad every day....and you get to pick the shooter.....95% of the shooters have blanks....that to me means that I will control the day....win a little or lose a little....on that day that I find the guy with the real bullet...I'm gonna get killed....so I pretend I've found him ever day...so no surprises.... as far as short interest increasing.....I'd put my money on the long term shorts.....but you may get your head handed to you before what they think they know comes to fruition.
