<< The shorts have a lot to lose... >>

How do shorts have anymore to lose than longs. Explain that to me.

<< ... So I can understand their desparation as FIBR is beginning to break out of an intermediate term downtrend... >>

But I take it the longs weren't desperate for the last year and a half when FIBR was in a huge downtrend from 20 to 2. You guys were just patient and loyal while FIBR slid, yet FIBR takes a little bounce and all of a sudden us shorts are desperate.

<< They are going to loose big money... >>

We'll see about that. So far so good...

<< ... They saw the first wave of buying come suddenly... It must have scared the pants/skirts off of them >>

Which wave was that? The wave from 2 to 6? Sorry guy, but I didn't ride that wave. I rode the wave from over 8 down to the 3's. Then I packed up my surfboard and waited patiently for the the next wave. I knew I could count on FIBR to give me one last ride of my life.

<< So, we can expect anything from the shorts in their last desperate attempt to plug the buying dam before it bursts...>>

You really do have a distorted view of reality. If shorts were really "scared" of the huge explosion upward why wouldn't they just cover? Do you know anyone who shorted at 2? I know I couldn't short FIBR at 2. My guess is anyone who shorted this company did so above 5 so they are doing just fine.

On the other hand, anyone who bought FIBR during most all of 1996 and more than half of 1997 is underwater. Only if you stumbled on this company lately are you doing ok.

So why don't you tell me again who has the most to lose and who is running scared...
