Stockbug, welcome to the travails of trading stocks. "Shorts" have every incentive to spread disinformation. That's their M.O. for God sakes. But facts are stubborn things and if one has the facts to defend the truth then disinformation or misinformation can be easily defused - as we all did just now. That being said, I truly am tired of the arrogance of CUBE's management. I state once again: Management should defend their valuation with a simple statement. Companies far more venerable than CUBE do it all the time.
