3 Million shares hedged?? Not bloody likely!!! LMAO Which PR machine are you believing Kevin?? Sounds like the most popular of the "popular SI personalities" has finally gotten to you. I won't go back and bother to display my cut and paste prowess, but if you care to look you will find that all of these guys claimed that any hedging was throwing good money away. I'm not sure if I have ever heard a short who said he wasn't hedged after a stock ran up. Must be great having that crystal ball. I am still wondering why the short leadership here, being "popular SI personalities," wouldn't disclose to this board and more importantly their cult followers (mostly lurkers because they won't pay the SI fee) the fact that they intended to hedge their position while leaving the others out in the cold. There are unfortunately many who follow Tommy Boy and a couple of others and depend on them to some degree to help them with this trade. I suspect they are beginning to feel a little betrayed about now. Oh well...I suppose their is no honor among thieves after all. Cook's PR machine as it is being called by the shorts seems to be busy. Three weeks ago the shorts were ranting about the lack of press releases and touting their knowledge that there were none coming. All of the sudden it's a PR Machine without substance. I wonder what you will call it when the other shoe drops. Some are saying this week. Others are saying next. But regardless of the timing, once the ZixCharge releases start and partners are announced, we will finally see the real potential of this company. Those that continue to misrepresent this company, it's products, and marketing prowess are losing credibility daily. Their repeated claims of hoping for a stock price of 100 must be killing those shorts who have followed these popular SI personalities into battle. I wonder how quickly they will begin rooting for 200, once the ZixCharge announcements come out? Margin Call Gentlemen. Time to get liquid. This is about to get expensive. Note to the ZIXI hall monitor: I will again be out most of the week. I will try to hold up my end, but please be patient with my reponses to your misrepresentations as it will be tough to get on more than once or twice daily. Love those posts on SI, BTW. Good strategy saying publicly that you never vist Yahoo, but I would be interested in knowing of anyone who actually believes that. (Or anything else you say now that you claim to have been hedged.) Enjoy the ride!!
