Kevin, my advice to you ( though I am fully aware that you did not ask for it< vbg > ), is that there is an almost infinite number of better stocks to short than CNC at this time. In my opinion only a dummy would short CNC after Wendt came on board. A dummy is defined as -an investor who does no DD and just invests. -a person intellectually challenged. Now, here at SI, I decided to make a leap of faith and assume that most posters do not fit the above category. Thus when I see you trying to short down to zero somebody like Wendt, immediately my antennas perk up and I ask: -if you are not a dummy, and -if you did your DD, then why are you shorting here for pennies? Conclusion: You and other shorts trying to daily bash this $8 stock, in reality are still short of it DEEP IN THE RED and are desperately trying to get your money back and your head above water. Or as a YHOO poster stated My final piece of advice: Cover at 8; take your loss; then go long CNC, Here is a YHOO link from a poster who sees the picture as I do. Couldn't have said it better myself, post.messages.yahoo.com cheers TA ==================================================== Message #2130 from Kevin Podsiadlik at Aug 1, 2000 10:51 AM Normally I wouldn't even bother but since you seem predisposed to wallow in your own failure to comprehend, I'll reiterate: I added some CNC to my position on Thursday, during that brain-damaged run-up on earnings. Those same shares I covered on Monday. Profitably. End of story.
