>>>Why is shorting YHOO seen as a badge of honor? That's what I don't get. You guys have been bearish for a very long time, and the more the stock goes up, the more you dig your heels in.<<< I have been in a short position (either puts or common) since the stock was ~56. It has gone up a lot since then, hasn't it? >>>ASND was heavily shorted since it IPOed. It went up, what, 8000%? Since then it's come down a lot, but it's still actually one of the better gainers [overall] for the past 3 years.<<< You are arguing from the general to the specific. I doubt that anyone who was short at ASND IPO or shortly after has been constantly short to this point without giving up. Sometimes we cover when the issue moves over significant resistance or moving averages, and revisit the issue later. ASND has been a great short for those who waited. Barb!
