Timoteo, guess you could take my allegory either way. Our theory is that he was pecked to death by the 4900 hens he didn't get around to.

Did manage to short ITWO @ 56 1/4. See 48 1/2 in the near future. You have better timing then me. I shorted ITWO a few weeks ago at 53 1/8, and watched in disgust as it climbed. But I'm feeling much better now. I think 41 is a realistic target. I'm also happy that Roger shorted SEBL, which I shorted the same time as ITWO, and where I'm in a relatively deep hole, at a basis of 38 7/8. I'd like to see 28 on this one, though just getting back to my break-even would be a good start. I can't believe this one went up after their pitiful earnings report.
