Lucky -On that question you asked us - DO YOU happen to know what level of Govt that Zi signed with. You're so good at posting a negative question without knowing the truthful answer yourself. Check it out - it'll be worth it. IMO It'll probably make you realize you'd better cover your short position tomorrow - and after a few days of sulkin you'll probably come to terms with yourself over the loss (could of been worse) And if you're really lucky realize that its not too late to go long cause Zi you just REALIZED can still make you money in the long run. (to repair short loss and then some)

And also, chinese is only interested in company that throw $$ at them, they have far more better technologies and just don't have $$ to implement those, esp. techology related to its own writing. As I recall at least one of the deals with the Chinese govt involved a joint venture to develop products to bring to the Chinese market. The gov't would receive royalties. I don't remember the precise percentage but 15% rings a bell. I think it was discussed in the conference call if you can get a transcript. Either that or in the original deal announcements. They are still available at www.Bloomberg.com
