re: short sellers Good morning Dale, I respectfully disagee -- in terms of what Herb G. has provided to at least me. When I read Herb, I don't just sell my position or short the same stock. I read the logic, interpretation of financial data (the same goes with what Bob Olstein may publicly state), and make my own conclusions. A recent example is (ELN). I exited my position at $45 prior to its collapse. The articles that made me focus more closely (which I am responsible for doing with or without Herb "touting" short seller comments) on the company's financial issues. "And you will never hear "oops we were wrong" from any of them. They dine out on the winners and ignore their losers." Herb personally writes a column 1-3 times a year giving a grade on his columns: A-F. If he is wrong, he admits it. It appears you have not read Herb if you believe he doesn't admit when he is wrong. No offense -- but all Herb readers know he is the first to admit his "correct" vs. "wrong" calls. Herb has alerted me to situations that have saved me money. I'm just one opinion so take it with a grain of salt.
