Why do I always hear this crap? A short losing an infinite amount of $$ is just as unlikely as a long gaining an infinite amount of $$. No, not really. The shorts try to be contrarians in a market that is clearly momo. Shorting cmrc would be analagous to me taking a long position in say, rite-aid. I wouldn't do it. Sometimes I get stuck in a long that changes directions on me... happens all the time actually, but I don't intend for it to happen. But those shorters talking Titanic analogies on the cmrc thread last weekend were standing in front of an incoming train. And surprise! Anthony even made an appearance (my contrarian indicator remains intact).
