Hi thanks for the compliment. My intention is to maintain a long term short position. Impossible to say but I see potential here for this puppy to drop to $5 (IMO). However, even though my strategic desicion is to hold for a long long time (I use the words long long because at SI long I get the impression means a few weeks. I am talking a few months "a la Roger"), decision making must be dynamic (run a text search on a post with the words Pancho and sunk cost. And you know S happens... these bad business may start consolidating... In fact they already are... In which case I would be forced to cover. Hopefully my other shorts will more than bail me out. This is why you diversify!

PS: diversifying shorting mainly y2k stocks? sounds phony but should work!
