Craig, <<so why don't you tell me who has the most to loose>> at zero longs loose 100%, at 25.00 the shorts loose 500%, so you have been told. BTW Osicom is nearly a debt free company!!

>>>Do you know anyone who shorted at 2? <<< Not personally, but short interest increased from 800k to 1000k from Nov 97 to Dec 97. FIBR traded between 2 7/16 and 3 3/8 during that time, so somebody did. Barb

Poor Leverage... >>>The shorts have a lot to lose...<<< >>>How do shorts have anymore to lose than longs. Explain that to me.<<< ******************************************************************** If I buy the stock at 5.00 and it goes to 0.00 I lose 5.00 per share... If you Short the stock at 5.00 and it goes to 10.00, 15.00, 20.00 or higher you do not have a ceiling to your loss if you don't cover along the way... The odds favor the longs... Jim
