I'm no expert on OPMR so really haven't looked at the numbers lately. I've shorted this stock in the past, sometimes OK, and sometimes getting whipsawed and cutting out. But I do remember the reasons I shorted it in the past. 1. I didn't care for the management at all. At that time they were awarding themselves inordinate options and paying themselves inordinate salaries. The sum total of both was more than the entire net income of the corporation or close. 2. This tricky dicky management has had alot of deals going on in the past between themselves and affiliated entities and shady individuals. They have had several businesses and corporations that were totally transformed, jumping from one line of business to another over the years, mostly unrelated businesses. In sum, its tuff to trust them and believe they act in the best interest of the shareholders. Wish I had all the specifics at my fingertips but its been a while. I'd say at at a minimum, caution is warranted.
