Carole - call the nice company. They are sitting beside the phone. They are the answer, they are the truth, they are the light. We are one. I am tired.

Carole: I don't think you can stop the shorting. except by calling your certificates. (certs) If they have sold more than the float they will be forced to cover. The second way that I know of is by the market itself...If the price of the stock goes up, they tend to cover themselves, without any encouragement from anyone. I think that if the company continues to make progress, as it seems to be doing, they will just naturally cover. The risk becomes too great for them.. I hope that helps a little.. If anyone else can contribute, please do.. al

As I recall, there were three key steps in the plan to squeeze the shorters 1. Buy as much as we can which I think we did. 2. Request our certificates which I think we did 3. Hold our positions...Ahhhhh, there's the rub! Calling for certs has a delayed reaction. It may seem to accomplish little as the first X hundred thousand certs are received easily, but then the vise starts to get tighter...unless everyone starts panic selling and that unravels the squeeze. It's just that simple. TraderGreg
