If you shorted the stock, just say so, rather than posing disinterest.

I shorted Snapple against the box for tax purposes. I shorted a bomb detection equipment maker whose name escapes me for the moment, losing money. I shorted Go-2-Net (before they bought SI) and made money. These are the only short stock positions I've ever executed. I've also written a few covered call options in the past which I guess could be considered short positions. I currently have no short positions of any type. That's about as clear as I can make it.

Then we can consider the source and motive when we analyze your so called evidence rather than accept it as being objective. Disinterested parties never interest me.

Then I take it you never read the newspaper or watch the news. Take data from wherever you can get it.

If you must know why I'm watching, it's because I'm trying learn how to make money both long and short and the best way to do that is a real-time case study. If Asensio is successful again (notice I didn't say right as these two are often unrelated on both the long and short sides) then there may be money to be made by shorting the types of companies that his firm attacks. If not, then the idea is to figure out why he was unsuccessful and to avoid shorting those types of companies.
