<< Craig, the stated purpose of the shares increase is to use the additional shares in a financing
deal. I do not yet have a short position, but I am starting to look seriously. >>

I have thought about it myself. The point I was making is I highly doubt that it would be a Reg S deal. Reg S deals are usually for companies that have a hard time getting legitimate financing like a secondary to the public or a Reg D private placement.

INTUIT (INTU)

Intuit was in a small short squeeze due to the tech jump on Friday
and a Barrons article hyping it. It was up 2 7/16 to 35 3/4. Intuit
has a P/E of 117 and a book value of $ 3.41. I made good money short
last week after a runup and intend to do the same this week, especially
if the market and tech sector move downward. Looking for 30-31 by
Friday but not going to take a short position until around 10:30-11:00
Monday morning.
