WAVX is a piece of crap...and grossly overvalued. However, that doesn't necessarily make it a good short at the current price and current market climate.

Not really Sophie. It is just "Wexlerspeak" for he is getting ready to have his head handed to him and he is raising cash to "prepare for battle". I wouldn't take his calling you names in an earlier post as an insult. He does that when nothing intelligent comes to mind. I think it is a fetish or something. He calls companies names because he has these 3 minute due diligence efforts and doesn't want to waste them. He will either be right or wrong about some meaningless move made by the stock and then meander on. If right, of course, he declares victory with great fan fare. If wrong he quickly explains how it wasn't really his fault or downplays the error and his losses. AAPL was a particularly noteworthy recent play. He bought close to the top, sold out near a trading bottom and recently declared he was right after all when the stock hit a new high. It would be easy to forgive him these little errors in judgement but his childish explosions and name calling don't really endear him to those who notice his blemishes. I have observed his antics for several months now and find little charm, way too much bluster and very average, highly opinionated & poorly justified positions. Pretty tiresome really. WAVX may be a fine company. I don't know. Wexler's insults cast no real aspersions on it.
