the math is right -- buuuut, shorting something that has collapsed is inherently more risky -- even with liquidity problems it is easier to jam them if they have a lot of short interest. OTW I agree

Reaper: Fabulous post yourself and I couldn't agree more. I haven't stayed to the "bitter end" on one for quite some time now, but delighted to see more possible corpses,.... er..... targets, floating up to the surface. You know better than I that good balance sheet analysis is an excellent way to spot oncoming rigor mortis. (g) As an aside, it truly amazes me that most investors, including a large cross section of fund managers, simply don't care about this stuff. Ignoring this could become very expensive. Best, Earlie
