SELL NOW is right. Tom I agree with you and satyr 100%. The chart doesn't look good, none of the analysts are screaming buy, and all this while the market is at all time highs. Disgruntled longs such as myself have a right to fight back - Wall Street thinks we're stupid but we can short too. Sold short some more today, go get 'em boys.

Sorry to rain on your parade. "This company is performing bad and it looks like Wall Street hates it" Come on! Like I've said before with other posts, what you just posted is old news - so old it's got dinosaur crap all over it. Wall Street has already discounted the bad news and the good thing is EP and gang didn't seem to hold back any punches. Not likely to be any more material surprises in my view. Now it's just a waiting game.

Also, your statement that you shorted today at 24 simply doesn't ring true with me. I'm suspect. My guess is you're trying ( not too successfully I might add) to lower cpq a bit so you can buy some. And if you are telling the truth, my apologies, and I hope your losses aren't too severe. Happy shorting!
