You can always tell a "fish" story by the absurdity of the facts. Paperheart never sold short, never bought in - and certainly not at $4 1/2. If he did - and that's a big if - there was hardly a blip on the screen. More interesting is what the real shorts are doing - not little braggarts like Paperheart. THEY ARE STILL SELLING SHORT! Almost all of the selling volume over the last few trading days - since the David Evans article - has been shorts trying to scare weak longs out. To some degree they have succeeded. I am sorry for those longs - they have sold at the bottom, and worse, are going to miss the ride back. I have added to my postion over the last three trading days to the tune of 50%. Why? Fundamentals are the same. The long selling was nothing like I feared - as most of the selling, as I said, was more shorting. Which also means the shorts are selling too low. Not a good omen for them - but definitely good for us. And, finally, most of my professional friends are starting to buy again - which means the stock has gotten cheap enough.

Hang in there. The squeeze is coming. And won't the shorts scream when it happens. Not only are they dirty players - they are bad losers too.
