Tim, It certainly came back off of 4 3/4 quick. I thought when it hit 4 3/4 it would continue on down. Marginablility is a key element here. Wish aipn could stay marginable. Your point about shorters is a good one. I think there are plenty of people ready to buy more. MD

tim if you would care to read that book link i posted it explains in excruciatingly simple terms how shorts work. the only ones that can short aipn on a downtick are the securities specialist{market makers} so if it is being driven down by shorts then it can only be an inside job, if that is the case then the sec wouldn't like it none too much.. btw- margin is dangerous- and now that aipn has broken through that $5 for me, i have to recount the clock from here- 4 to seven weeks above $5 and then the cabbie buys and holds.. regards taxi
