Mike, it's nothing personal. Shorting the highest relative strength stocks in a down market--even if those stocks have absolutely no change in their market-leading fundamentals--can be a very profitable strategy. The ones that ran up the steepest tend to fall even steeper. As you know, RADAF is still up over 700% over the past year, even after giving back a nice chunk recently. Congratulations on being aboard for that move. dh

[ RADAF ] Mike, I agree with your observations. I should be careful when considering taking a short position in RADAF. As I mentioned, only the first Phase has been completed that would signal a potential short. Definitely not now, but there's two more to go, and if the stock behaves, it might never be met. By the way, I will echo Dave Horne's comments, in that my interest in shorting RADAF has nothing to do with anything personal. Just business. Regards, Rainier
