History would not be complete without noting the day APM hit $345 on the ticker: exchange2000.com

I do not pretend to understand the persistently high short interest on APM, but just like new longs buying to replace those selling, there are new shorts being sold to replace those covering. So far the shorts have been laughing all the way to the bank.
Someday the situation will change, but it is damn hard to stand in front of a freight train with this kind of negative momentum. IMO
