Steve, People should learn by this point in their lives that there is more than one way to look at a situation...Oh well I guess maturity plays a role in it also. I've always also wondered if they are so secure in their bullish beliefs why they act so insecure...

Since shorts are NOT like most people here, the maurauding long lymphocytes in the SI host thread think a short seller is a foreign, non-human, non-long antigen, and go into attack mode. Not so. Negative opinions backed by research are welcome (and you know it). Josey barged into the room like an angry migrant with bud on his boots and started spamming to back his own short position. After the first 10 or 20 posts, a few long-time readers asked him to contribute something of substance. A fair request. Shorts are like the guy who wakes up after a storm and seeing his his backyard flooded, calls the newspaper to say the world's coming to an end. Small world that backyard and those who prefer to make decisions from a higher perch aren't interested in getting a minute-by-minute analysis of his little puddle. Now, if he'd take the time to explain why his backyard being flooded equates to the entire planet flooding, we might listen. Pat
