Roger,

Have you covered your short position on ATHM?

OK thread, here is a floorless convertible gift.
CFON announced a floorless convertible of about 4M on December 31, 1997.
biz.yahoo.com
They have more shares outstanding than either HCOM or ESMC.
It is in the ideal stage where the announcement has been done and the shorters have not driven it into ground, the announcement was done when stock was at about 6 7/8, trading around 6 1/4 today where I shorted it.
Also they have been losing money and TA indicates a symmetric triangular consolidation most likely to break on the downside with a 2 point minimum downside.
Was planning to shorting HCOM and ESMC today but they ran away on the downside.
Good luck

Increased my CTXS short @ 77 5/8. In view of past earnings surprises, I expect earnings would have to be quite good to sustain current price. I think this is the typical pre-earnings run-up.
