Darfot, please keep us informed about the webcast discussion of FLM. There might be a couple of us here still in this crummy stock. I will still be if I haven't given up in disgust.

per the WSJ today, longleaf ceases their conference calls because they felt other investors were using the disclosure and hampering longleaf's ability to take/exit positions

FLM & Short Selling: I remember the discussion of FLM at the last Longleaf annual meeting. I have always strongly avoided any equity investment when investors/management/3rd parties state the company's stock is going down because of short selling. FLM is one more sad example. That WSJ article was right on the money -- about 6-12 months ago. "...when rampant short selling compounded the pressure on the stock brought by several pieces of bad news -- weak wholesale results, a lower than expected price for its retail assets, and instability at Kmart, its largest customer..." No disrepect to any posters who sustained lost in FLM common. Just my two cents.
