I can't believe what I am reading, is this the comedy hour?

Anyone who would short a nasdaq company with only a 2.5 million
share float is either very naive or has more money than sense.

My goodness I hope many people think the same and we will see
a replay of the action on AOL this week. Do you think AOL is
really worth 500 times trailing earnings? No, a bunch of negative
nellies are trapped short and they are going to pay with their
last buck...If you want to short AMTD my advice is wait until the
stock splits and options are available, then buy your puts , this
will save your pocket book if not your life....Out of the 2.5 million share float, there have already been about a third sold short so the
remaining shares are mighty slim and ripe for a short squeeze..Gil
Bye the way dont get too excited about the big short position, this
is usually done in advance of a secondary offering and that makes
the stock presold and ready to roll...and While your at it, if you
are really thinking, figure out the nr. of shares of EGRP times the
price of the stock and then do the same with AMTD...market cap you know.....Gil
