>>Only shorts are scared to death when they hear this kind of rumors. If one of the rumors becomes the truth overnight someday, it will send many of those shorts to the poor house quickly. It really doen't make any sense to short ASND at this low level, especially when it's a takeover target. It's just not wroth the risk, IMO.<< You may be glad to know that people who are professional shorters usually hedge their bets so that the risk is minimized at the cost of some potential gains and so do the professional longs. Risks can be reduced ya know! About the poorhouse, look! who is talking.
