@Keith - Short " I think the reason for Spansion´s high short interest is a very consistent business underperformance relative to guidance and expectations quarter after quarter over a very long period of time. Short interest was at around 16M already in mid-2007. "
I could agree with you here, the environment for memory was and is tough. But keep the stock movement in mind, you could short at 14,10, 8$ a while ago. Now, the stock is 2,xx. Its a topic of chance/risk. Short this stock in the 2,xx - clear, it could go down in the best case to 0$, but it could go up fast to 5$ or even more. I don't think mister market is NOW that keen to be short here, so I assume a big part of the short-number is related to the SFUN deal. How much, I really don't know.
