David, Recently some one had posted on this thread (or may be on AOL) that the short interest has gone up by 200,000 to 1 mil. shares. I was wondering that why some one still be short this stock. The only answer that comes to my mind is that the shorts may believe that regardless of the record backlog or sales for the 4th. quarter, the company will still show a loss. If that occurs, the stock price will certaily go down. Beside this I cannot think of another reason why some one will stay short at these price levels and with very bullish indications from the company. Do you think that it is possible or probable that the company may show a net loss even with record revenues? In other words, do you believe that the company will be able to meet the earning estimates for the 4th. quarter? It is nice to see you back on the thread. Afaq Sarwar
