Hello, long time lurker, first time poster here and previous HTCH holder. I think today's unjustified HTCH rally is based partly on Shorts covering, IMHO. HTCH has sported a large short position for many months now: viwes.com It is about 13% of the float, and those greedy shorts who didn't cover in the teens, are now closing out their position. Next month's short interest numbers will be telling. Thank you thread posters for one of the best, honest and insightful threads at SI. Cheers, Tom

Tom, While Dean has never impressed me in any of the questions or comments I have heard him make in conference calls over the years.... in fact I have snorted at the guy more than once... it is a slippery slope you are on when you begin to question the motives of analysts in general on Wall Street. Frankly, I've been impressed, lately, by the quality of research presented by various analysts and firms. Very short term history has proved Dean wrong... very wrong and he ought to pay the price for it but granting a hidden agenda gives him undeserved credit. Paul
