taxi: Aw, c'mon guy ... just throw some money at BROC. I did! Besides, you've got plenty just laying around. All those profits from shorts from 'other' stocks. You can afford to throw some at BROC. Long, of course. We don't like shorts here. Well, those who short BROC, anyway. And, uh, well .. we need somebody to create a demand for this stuff. C'mon, pal ... whaddaya say? TED

taxi, you are welcome to post opposing views on this thread, it always helps to hear both sides. You and I have much the same strategy from the short side on other stocks, short term "almost sure thing" trades. But I trade differently from the long side, choosing long term growth potential and holding large positions for long periods of time. I won't try to "convert you" with discussion. Just stay tuned and watch as the actual events unfold and decide on facts rather than opinion. And if you decide to short, that is OK too. Most of us on this thread are short sellers of other stocks so you won't be attacked for that here. Both long and short investors are welcome to the BROC party when we hit $15 and the longs will foot the bill. By the way, I expect you will get a second chance to buy CTXS in the 20's in 1998. This is a case where both the shorts and longs have been right and made money at various times.
