Hi Frank, Just a quick question. What's wrong with shorting a stock? It seems that most people are adverse to it. I'm not saying that IFMX is a short candidate in one way or another, but shorting is a viable strategy. People that go long are entitled to their opinions on why they think the stock should go up. Shorts should be allowed the same opportunity. In every transaction in the market, there are at least 2 players if you don't count the brokers. The seller has his reasons to sell, just like the buyer has his reason to buy. Who's right? They both bet big money on their beliefs right? I always welcome both sides of the story. I get to see all the different views out there, which helps me make up my own mind. Good luck, Phuoc
