Here's what I find amazing
The firm is up only 4.7% this
year to date, as the stock market overall has struggled, but rose 31.6% last
year, net of fees, as stock prices generally soared.

Maybe the author got the details mixed up, but how could a short have lost in 1999 and only made 5% (through 12/22/2000) this year......unless he ran out of capital in the Jan-March timeframe and started to sink.

Mr. Cohodes is an ex college football player, he is considerably bigger than 6'1" 210# and it is hilarious to see him sit in the front row of analyst breakout sessions of stocks he is short. The CEO's brows inevitably sweat profusely ands some stutter their words. A great short seller...
