Take it easy David, First, there is no evidence that CUBE is a show me stock. Why they blew away analyst estimates (fully diluted too!). They trade at the lowest multiples of any comparable company. Outlook is bright and the recent new would be considered "show me " news for many other companies. Who knows why CUBE languishes? Vendettas and poor PR. It is well documented that people have been buying the options rather than the stock. The ratio of call interest to stock volume is huge. Who is selling these calls? Stock owners who don't think the stock will go up? Perhaps. Market makers who (or are in league with those who) have short positions. You betcha! That is probably just a small part of it. However, I don't think anyone can be blamed for thinking CUBE was a good investment for late Feb. early May. That said, you have to live with your decisions. If their wasn't risk there would be no reward. "Welcome to the risk!" is what we are seeing. Joe
