Jazzss, you're no fun at all -- much too easy to 'push your buttons' and get you going. I can just visualize the foam in your mouth as you penned your reply to me. You are mighty defensive for someone who is 'so confident in their position'. Let's see ... I expressed my thoughts and asked for your comments, in turn you called me "SLIMEBAG", "SCUM", and implied that I was dishonest. Your emotion reveals that you have 'fallen in love' with this stock -- a sure way to lose money, letting your emotions creep into your trading decisions. I'm sure you have made tons of money trading in general, and I'm sure you have made tons (and will again) with MCF in particular. However, it's not too difficult to determine that someone who bought MCF at $1 and held thru today has made a $5 profit, while someone else who bought at $1, sold at $9.50 and then turned around to short it has made $11.80 profit (more than twice your $5 gain) in the same time frame. When MCF finally does turn around and start climbing again, that person who has made twice your profit already, will also have a further $6-8 profit when MCF reaches $12 again, while those who held will basically be back to where they were months ago. Go ahead, rant and rave, and do all your research, then publish it at your web-site ... I'm sure it makes you feel much better, and at the same time, I'm sure it keeps you busy and stops you from thinking so much about the profit that has slipped thru your fingers. Go ahead and plan your September vacation, I'm taking my vacation now, thru June and July. See you again in mid-August.

Gee Jazzss Just happen to catch my name in your post. When I do short it is just for minutes to max. 2 days. just looking for the quick buck on my daytrades. I do remember your last message to me, and in fact I had to cover at a loss and then went long to make it back and then some. I still hold this one long and accumulated a bunch last week for my long term account. Looks to be a deal at these prices. Will purchase more if the slide contiunues. Not trying to pump this one, I have been plenty wrong on many occasions. Best regards to all WB
