Disclosure: I'm SHORT MBI shares (just like da boyz at Gotham Partners LLC!<G>) So are you going to get long PPD like Gotham? <ggg> You see their tout of it today? Pre-Paid is likely the most heavily shorted stock of any U.S. public company, with 11.5 million shares sold short versus 19 million shares outstanding. This short interest, which has depressed the share price, facilitates the company's share repurchase program and exposes the shorts to extreme risks. Gotham rebuts each of the short-sellers' arguments against the company including allegations of accounting impropriety, slowing growth, multi-level marketing, poor corporate governance and litigation. Press coverage of Pre-Paid, much of it inspired by short sellers, has been unfair, incomplete and lopsided.
