>>>What investor is going to buy at 27 when the same company was available at 12 on Thursday?<<<

Answer: A typical one.

Short sellers often fall into the trap of over estimating the knowledge and trading acumen of the "average investor." Anyone who can read and understand an SEC filing -- or recognizes hype PR when they see it -- knows that HAUP is grossly overvalued. But don't assume the average Joe knows that, else you may end up outsmarting yourself. (Even so, I'm shorting with you on this one; it's just too fat to resist and I think it'll get fatter Monday).

Incidentally, according to my understanding of market mechanics, the current float on this stock is not 2 million as posters keep mentioning. It's actually 2 million PLUS the number of outstanding shares short. Given Friday's action it's anybody's guess what the artificial float might be now.
