You're right - short it all the way to the poorhouse. From 12 to 18 from the time you started your attack. Great work. I guess you're laughing out of the wrong end. Get the Beano. My only question is whether you'll keep "averaging up" into the 20's. Otherwise, I'm outa here once you cover.

Umm, just checking back on AREM. I guess Mr. bully was wrong. It was 13-14 when the he claimed that the lawsuits were going to kill AREM. Umm, how can you show your face on this board, shame on you. If you want me to start posting on your board please extend an invitation. I don't want to shame you in front of your following.

AG I'd agree with the jist of the article that companies that devote excessive efforts to combating short sellers often tend to be empty promotes. But these are usually confirmatory indications - the whip cream on top of lousy fundamentals -0 earnings, just promises instead of a real business, aggressive accounting. The closest thing we have to a fundamental issue is the Bulgaria controversy. But the bottom line there is that the risk is disclosed in the filings as a contingency and the share price more than discounts a negative outcome. In taking the combative style of AREM management to be 'evidence' of a pervasive fraud, shorts may have missed the potential for cultural differences affect responses. I've looked at a lot of potential shorts and this just makes no sense from a risk-reward perspective. I'd sooner hunt bears with a switch.
