Winston,

Re: "Time to short was many points ago."

<What's your basis for it>?

My basis is that this stock has already seen a huge decline. I think shorting at this point has a bad reward/risk ratio. Hell, CREAF has nearly $5 share in CASH! On the other hand, I wouldn't add new money either. I just want to get the hell out and a reasonable price.

< I'm surprised anyone is still "up" on this stock.>

How do you know there is anyone still up <gg>?

I sold 1/3 of my position at 15.5, another 1/3 at 12.5, and unfortunately am still sitting on the last 1/3 of this piece of crap.

I should have dumped my last 1/3 a couple weeks ago in the 13's.

<When does CREAF report, btw?>

According to BRIEFING.COM, CREAF announces on August 5th. I don't have independent confirmation and BRIEFING has definitely been know to be wrong in the past.

Creative reports Aug 5 after Nasdaq close. Maybe analysts should just paint the kind of "it's going to be bad for a few quarters" picture, so that we can all get on with looking at whatever reengineering Sim is trying to do.

I don't think earnings will be pretty. Probably even below First Call. The kind of volatility in earnings is too much for most investors to stomach.
