Jeff: Good comments. Whatever makes money. (g) I lost a great deal of money in my early days learning a few truly universal lessons. - most companies that go public don't make it. - debt is the toughest single item for most companies to handle properly. It eats most companies alive. - increasing revenues excite investors, but there are a bunch of dumb ways to increase revenues and not increase profits. In the end, profits rule. - heavy insider buying/selling is an almost infallible guide to what an investor ought to be doing. - shorts do more and better homework than longs, but most shorts are usually too "early". A dying company has a host of tools that it can and will use to extend its survival. - It is easier to hunt down the wounded than the strong. (g) Best, Earlie
