Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf? Shorting is a much tougher game than I prefer to play. They are always tacking into a 9% wind, with near infinite downside (upside) risk. I've shorted with folks like the Feshbachs, but found that they tend to lose their way after a while. The hedge theory is great, but something always seems to fail. At which point they turn to touting, rumors, and inuendo. In my hands, the secret is to never deviate from the routine of knowing the underlying business, and reading filings. I invite pink or any of his acolytes to post factual stuff on EP. It's trivial to call it a 'house of cards'. It's not trivial to prove it. I'd love to be proven wrong about this company. (BTW, my position is now hedged so that in worst case, I break even.) Thank you 'evil short sellers' for making my summer vacation so profitable. Without your FUD, the EMF would win.
