<< Any particular reason for thinking it will tank more this week? >>

Nah, just a guess for the contest, my real short (8 1/8 in late Nov) will be covered at 7 if it shows any strength ... otherwise I'll wait a while longer to see of anything else bad happens. There were a couple of quite negative sounding downgrades of this stock a few weeks ago right before I shorted it - but like you said, the apparent manipulation took most of the shorting potential out of this stock before that, and a lot of what could go wrong (being forced to shut down some or all of their south american casinos, for instance) probably won't be decided for quite a few months. This and ZITL (short) are still the only stocks that I'm still ahead on after the dd, high-tech, semi equip. etc.
disasters of the last couple of months.

PS Someone on one of the shorting threads seems to think it has a ways to go yet - these guys seem to be pretty good at picking shorts.
