I think you can file that under the "takes one to know one" category. And a very happy and prosperous New Year to you Peter.

peter, Let's face it guys, professional shorters are generally not the most charming folks under the sun. I second that, and in that I hope that short sellers are more "honest" than the friendly sell side analyst guys who seemingly always smile and tout stocks to the folks while, separated though chinese walls, prop trades unfortunately are lightening up their inventories... As opposed to cube, I believe that Mr. Pink has a heart... happy new year, Peter!

professional shorters are generally not the most charming folks under the sun. I see it like this. Say you're at a nice lil party and there's a group of guys(and a great gal or two) talking cars, and they're arguing over Jaguar E Types vs. Ferrari 275 GTB's, or they're discussing the better corner Eau Rouge at Spa or Maggots/Becketts at Silverstone, or they're pondering whether Nuvolari could show these young turks today a thing or two about car control. Up walks some mullet hair cut, knuckle dragger. He listens long enough to figure it's car talk, and then he launches right into how he has an 89 Camaro with top of the line Kraco sound system and he installed the neon lights under it himself. I suppose the charming, polite thing to do would be to ask him what color neon lights he has, but instead the folks say, look punk, you don't know jack about cars and what you do know we learned when we were reading Hot Rod in Junior High study hall, so beat it loser. Now i'm sure Mr. Mullet would be deeply offended that the assemblage didn't want to hear his deep felt feeling on window tinting but it never dons on him that maybe if he had just kept quite, and listened, he could have learned quite a bit. Instead he was the one that had zero charm when he tried to spout off, and his complete lack of charm was met in kind. That's usually how it is on the boards. The shorts have seen it all before, every turd stock is different only in the style of bolt on hood scoop and rear wing, under the hood they're all the same. Turd worshippers start spewing the same ol crap, and the shorts aren't bowled over by it, and worse yet, tell them it's crap. Turd worshipper gets all upset, even more so when the turd melts in their pocket, and of course it's the shorts fault. Bottom line, the world is not a polite place, not everyone gets along. It's good to be polite and kind to furry animals and all that, but only when their is time to do so. There is no time for it in the stock market. Feeling get hurt, so what, as long as i'm right, and i'm profitable. I'd rather be right and despised than wrong but loved by a bunch of fellow wrongos. Fortunately I have the best of both, i'm right, and I have the love of and for others who are right as well. CMB
