1. Try the complete record, kids. On SURE, my point is clearly in the post:
Just a word of caution to newbie shorts who may be lurking here.
"Caution" is a long ways from absolute declaration or "calls". Ask anyone who went broke in the ADSP squeeze.
2. In KOPN, I covered the short at 12.15 on October 29. It was a trade with a target that I ended with a small profit short of the target. Gee, that has never happened in the market to anyone else, has it? Notice where I mention KOPN could squeeze hard so it was more prudent to cover?
BTW, I posted my cover on SI like all my trades. If you folks were interested in a comprehensive view instead of cut and paste sniping, we could have a real discussion. Everything I do is chronicled on SI - Mad can ignore it if he likes but I will set the record straight whenever there is a question.

Congrats, I am in from 13 now so 20.50 is my bellringing point.
Covered KOPN short at the close; may go lower but KOPN was close to my target and it really bounces in a rally. Take the money and run.

3. AM closed at 16.88, an even 25% over the 13.50 level it traded at when called short. Maybe someone should have been more cautious there too. Most traders use 10-20% stops and lost money if they followed their system.
