Karen:

FGI's short position concerned me while I was doing my initial DD. Slider's theory that it was a hedge seemed to make sense, and after doing more research, I became convinced this was the case. Here's a link to the post where I outlined my findings:

Message 7666905

Tonight I looked up the last four months of short data to see if anything had changed, and discovered the short position has dropped considerably:

Feb 99----2,862,000
Mar 99---3,021,000
Apr 99----2,745,000
May 99---2,117,000

This is a 20% reduction since my post, and a 30% drop from its March high.

I still consider the short covering a bonus to be realized as the industry recovers.

Best regards,

Mike
