That was fast ! My full name is Alper H.YUKSEL (H. stands for Hakan). I think I initiated my SI membership with my name only. I tried to edit it, unfortunately it's not possible. What is your full name ? You see, I'm really happier for two reasons. Now I know where you stand, so I can digest your posts after adjusting for any potential bias in your posts. Similarly, when I read Henry Niman's posts, I am trying to adjust for the positive bias as well (though I must admit that I find it very difficult). Secondly, I am happy to know that you'll be on board from 10 to 16, which strengthens my belief that the current level of LGND is unjustifiably low. The way I understand it, you don't see LGND as a long term stock, but a volatile stock whose fluctuations could be utilized. On a final note, I know that it's very difficult and most of the times a useless effort to reason with people who are in love with a stock. Therefore, shorters have certainly an additional incentive not to disclose their positions on SI. However, my experience with the LGND thread is that the folks on the thread are quite civilized, and no one would bash shorters, just because there are people who think a stock will go down. Alper
