CTB...I owned this years ago, had a nice double from those lows of early 2000 during the tech-bubble. Took a recent look and noticed very high and growing short interest. About 25% of shares outstanding are shorted. I wonder if some big hedgers/institutions are buying the CTB corporate bonds and selling short the shares? (lookup CTB bonds here) investinginbonds.com Just trying to account for the very high short interest(???)...I wonder about "legacy costs" issues?? Rogue
