Tunica--I recall you were a big long on VVUS. That one was heavily shorted too. Trying to make up losses on CNC is not the best way. Something your article doesn't mention is that a heavily short position in a stock is one of the best indicators it is going down. With all the talk of squeezes and the rest of the stuff, modern research indicates a high short interest means a stock is likely to go down. Instead of silly little jingles why don't you ask the company why they saw fit to make Wendt a very rich many using some very scarce company resources to do so? The problems longs face are in the company and in what the management does. Shorts are a symptom of a struggling poorly managed company, not the problem. Druss
