Wasn't it Fleckenstein that was short this stock big-time? Do you think he's still short? These kinds of moves have to be depleting the capital base of his fund significantly. Can there be anything left? And what happens if a stock kites so high so fast that there is enuf capital left in the short's fund to cover? Do the partners get a call on their personal assets or how do people get paid? Good Luck To Each And All Curly ~~~~~~~~~^^ [6.6] ......> [-]

Mostly short trades to exploit a short term overbought situation, to be covered on any pullback. (you only stated why you closed a long position...I agree and never stated the opposite. But if the bus is driven too fast it can perhaps be a bit out of cycle.)
