<<There is no more risk in shorting than going long>> Please elaborate on thatcomment at your leasure. Hey AW, if he's going to short the next military act, he may have it....or if he thinks America goes down the dust bin of History, he may have it. But IMO, it would take a Taliban to short at this level and come off with a Profit Long Term, ain't possible. Cause, that Irish guy in New York at the Concert told them to "kiss his royal Irish ass", got my german ass on that one last night, and that was half the cheeks...they can kiss my other cheek too, my English ass. You Folks all got an ass? Tell them Terrorists they can kiss that too, just let them know where you hail. None of us Americans are from here, we came here to escape NUTS like Salami Baloni...from all Countries, from all Religions and from all Colors....and we stand on our Adopted Soil AND CALL OURSELVES AMERICANS TOGETHER. God be with you...American, which in my mind = refugee from over seas NUTS. We'll do this together from, Maine to Montana, and Mississippi to Michigan. Salami says's we are afraid, "infidels and kafirs" I say we are up for a good fight and he can kiss our ass of humanity. Remember, if we stand alone....we stand out. I'm a patroit, and I'm calling for a stand together. United we stand, divided we fall[I'm with ya]...get the fear out of you[stand tall, speak out, be brave]...and this stock comes back, and so does the market, economy and AMERICA.

"Go ahead and short this stock if you feel comfortable enough with it. Again, if you knew me, my habits, you would know I encourage people to take full advantage of trading opportunities(I mean I don't see the color green in my country's flag). But here's my take on shorting ckfr. The volume is generally too low for me to piddle around with shorting it(unless you are playing with a few hundred shares)." August, It seems as you think shorting may be unAmerican? I can assure you it is not. Perhaps you should brush up on how the stock market works. As to you not shorting because it doesn't trade enough shares, well it trades plenty for me-$7.5m a day. I would not BUY because it trades so few shares. If it only trades $7.5m per day, how many mutual funds can really buy this? They need to be able to buy Millions and Millions of shares. How can they do this with so few shares. They can't. That is why I will continue to keep my eyes open on this as a short. Mutual funds often won't buy stocks under $15 per share because of what I have mentioned. Mutual funds control up to 80% of a stocks shares and are responsible for the surges going upward. So I wonder how many have been dumping and looking elsewhere.
