Egg! Hand those analysts covering ANAD a few napkins to wipe the egg off their face.... I think approx. 4 or 5 had it at a strong/buy. Beats the street by 2 cents and they halve it. Someone actually had it on their 'world recommended list'. Maybe I'll do that....develop a "Special Circumstance Blue light Special List", take the stocks into inventory, run them a bit, and then put it on my newly created list only to sell it out of inventory to clients before it cracks in half. They clearly got that one wrong...Can someone point out to me the last time the analysts TIMING was one the money. I agree with many of their analyses, but I am more concerned about the timing and motivation issues. have a great weekend@! steve@yamner.com

I know you don't like to discuss specific stock. However I think looking at a specific stock in an objective manner might help in the discussion I thought. I was just intrigued to find out more about short squeeze and to see it occur in real time. With VVUS having over 9 million shares of short with a small float, I thought might be a good candidate for observation. Just to disclose evrything, yes, I do have a small long position in VVUS. But if you feel it inappropriate to further discuss the trading actions regarding VVUS, then I respect it totally. Enjoy your weekend : )
