They have to invest in their technology and will continue to lose money until they have a critical number of markets. Look at Quest, QCOM and MCI during their growth phase.

Excellent lists. Let's assemble them here, for easy reference. Thanks to all the contributors, I just assembled them. Turd Worshippers's standard responses to short-sellers Volume I: 1. Big news on the way, better cover now 2. You can have unlimited losses 3. I am going to turn you into the SEC 4. The company is going to sue you 5. I talked with the company, and they said you are wrong 6. All that is old news 7. Financial statements just reflect the past, I am investing for the future 8a. I am a long-term investor and don't care that the stock is down today 8b. The stock is up today, so that proves you are wrong 9. They have the patents that control this market 10. Everyone call in their Certificates, and we will have a squeeze 11. Nobody cares about the failures and convictions management had in the past, this time is different 12. This stock could go to a hundred 13. I hear (fill in the name of larger broker) is sniffing around and will soon pick up coverage. 14. AOL/MSFT/INTC/YHOO might buy them 15. The analyst is not influenced by investment banking relationships/warrants/cheap stock 16: This pullback is just a buying opportunity. 17: Only the weak hands are selling. 18: You will never see prices this low again, better cover. 19: You fool, earnings and revenues don't matter for internet stocks. 20: So, what if they are losing money, look how much AMZN lost. 21: A high short interest is good, cause they must eventually cover and buy more. 22: Herb Greenburg is being paid by (Rocker Partners, Mr. Pink, etc. etc.) 23. I called my sister and her broker said there is a buyout coming,, better cover now. 24. YADA YADA YADA 25. You can't hurt me, I bought back at $n. (related to 8a) 26. This is just manipulation by the market makers. 27. Short-selling is anti-free enterprise. 28. You sound like you're about to panic. 29. You're just trying to drive the price down so you can buy in cheaply. 30. You obviously haven't done any DD. 31. Getting a little nervous about your short position? 32. The shorts are worried. 33. Looks like a short squeeze! 34. Stop looking in the rear-view mirror. 35. You don't know the facts. 36. I'm forwarding your comments to investor relations. Better get a lawyer! 37. My sources tell me that major news is coming next week. Better cover shorts! 38. The company has no overhead, it will be pure profit! 39. The potential market for <name of scam product here> is <umpteen>,000,000 <units> x <umpteen>,000,000,000 <other units>. 40. These are old quarter results. They have to invest in their technology and will continue to lose money until they have a critical number of markets. Look at Quest, QCOM and MCI during their growth phase.
