"if the shareholders know, so will the shorts" Apparently TSCM got info on the secret meeting (along with the materials handed out at the meeting) from a hedge fund manager who attended and who is short CNC. So, the only people who don't know what was said at the meeting are the shareholders --- the shorts were in the looop.

I couldn't be calmer if I was mainlining morphine, but back to my point...since when does running a company entail vendetta's against short sellers? You think they want the share price higher for acquisitions?!!? hehe, I know, I know, it's all a big secret, like area 51, and eventually the demented dream team of wendt irwin and tuna will unveil the master plan that will krush the eeeevilll shorts. BTW, any thoughts on Mr. Demarco's interest expense #'s?

"Wendt has a vendetta against the shorts " Hmm, do you have something to back this up? I have yet to see a company who's CEO was interested in short sellers that wasn't a good short. "if the shareholders know, so will the shorts. Of course if the no one knows the good news, no one will buy. The reality is that it's bad news that companies try to keep quiet, not good news. If Wendt's goal really is to cause the short sellers losses, I'd love to see it, as that would give me a warm fuzzy about being short. Not that I'm not quite content with my position now.
