F. Lynn:

i'd be careful shorting this one----new management has radically different ideas than old one

Hey, be kind to the old management....at least they issued earnings releases. Must admit that I've never seen a company just plumb, um, forget, to put out an earnings release. Amazing that they had the time to do two S-3/A filings this week but couldn't spare a minute or two whip something up about their fourth quarter and the fact that 35% of sales are going away.

Interesting way to run a company (into the ground.)

<< new ceo has convinced old management and holders of converts to change the strike price on the bonds ... >>

True, but dilution is still unlimited because of the discount feature. Plus, the company gave away warrents as a sweetener. I think the convertible holders got a pretty good deal (= bad for shareholders).
