<<<<< << I must admit it is much worst than I,even, thought.At 5 it will become a real massacre.All longs will have to ante up and move this to cash account>> If these shares get moved to a cash account, what happens to the 14.3 million shares that are currently short against them? Mike>>>>>> Mike, the original post was written by the perennial doomsayer or short probably. I don't believe that margined shares are necessarily moved to cash accounts with margin calls. Just enough cash has to be added to balance the margin account or many are forced to sell out and it the cause of some falling prices in already ridiculously over-sold VVUS. I agree with your premise that if the stock is sold the short shares would have to be borrowed elsewhere. Scope, some of us actually own VVUS fully paid for and not margined, FYI. Jim
