Oleg, no kidding, sounds like a great short when management is actively chasing short sellers instead of running the business. More warnings after the bell. Argonaut (AGNT) 5.83 +0.13: Company warns for Q2; sees revs of $3-3.2 mln vs. consensus est of $5 mln; cites a challenging business environment characterized by delayed or postponed purchasing decisions and reduced capital expenditure budgets as a result of uncertain economic conditions; see press release. Advanced Micro (AMD) 28.64 -1.12: Trading halted; news pending. TEKELEC (TKLC) 25.45 -0.81: Company warns for Q2; sees earnings of $0.02-0.03 vs. current EPS estimate of $0.17; "Near the quarter's end, we witnessed an abrupt belt tightening by customers, resulting in an unanticipated reduction in order activity from our customer base -- both carriers and equipment manufacturers -- that we had been able to largely avoid until now." see press release. Starbucks (SBUX) 21.92 -0.07: Reports a 3% increase in June same-store sales; total revenues for the period increased 19% to $259 mln. BMC Software (BMC) 22.78 -0.83: Company warns for Q1, sees revs in the range of $338-$345 mln vs. consensus ests of $361 mln; diluted earnings per share are preliminarily estimated to be in the range of $.06-$.08 vs. consensus ests for $0.13 EPS; says the current economic environment is challenging and as a result its closure rates at the end of the quarter were lower than we expected; see press release.

Oleg- thanks for digging that up! I love Toms thoughts on it as well.. a must for every shortsellers radar screen when they start targeting short sellers! I lost count of all the times companies were sueing Auric or Anthony, and the suits all just vanished because the companies went under : )
