J.Y., what do longs know, anyway? Something, for sure, but don't expect them to predict likely falls too often(though they will at times). Many of them don't care about short term fluctuations anyway, and rightfully so. Dan B

Perhaps some of the NOPT longs also recognize a long standing occurence in stock investments that a stock like NOPT will likely fill in a "gap". Many long holders may actually believe that NOPT is positioned to have success over the long term. While the "hyped" run-up of NOPT seems to lack the necessary support to maintain its recent lofty pricing, is it your contention that pricing momentum should not be considered in the investment decision? Don't short players count on momentum to profit on their trades? Why do so many short sellers turn investment discussions into personal tirades? Don T.
