> The shorts aren't hurting the company any. William, the only power 99% of internut companies have is their stock price, to pay for inventory without it appearing as an expense on the balance sheet, or to pay employees in options without it showing up as an expense on the balance sheet. If shorts can drive it down, the companies feel the pain.
