How Does SSMB make money on AMKR?

messages.yahoo.com

 Rated AMKR strong buy first to push AMKR share to 11-12 six months ago.

 Borrowing shares from Kim (with reason of keeping liquidity) and shorting the stocks during the past 4 months.

 Now downgrading AMKR with projected Q2 earning to 0.08 from 0.16 (purposely and apparently making it much lower than actually possible).

 Cover all the shorted shares and start to accumulate in the next few weeks.

 Upgrade AMKR to BUY from Neutral when AMKR announces Q2 earning with 90-100% positive "surprise".

Just a few million extra bucks in the pocket.

Cowen dropped eps forecast to $0.08 for next quarter. That is significantly under the concensus estimate of $0.16. If the Cowen report is correct we could be looking at a very nasty pullback when the next set of eps come out after June.
