Joe, sorry, but need a translation. Are you saying the eps # is going to drive the share price. Or are you saying an anticipated drop in earnings estimates have attracted shorts. Or? Thanks for clarification. Stu

TokyoMex translation: First let me paste his last post and then let me translate it: Yes ..buy TAVA under 11 for sure but more like under 9 now.. EPS lowered,,by TAVA,Hanofen and Emerald ... The reality ,,, I see it on level II ,, it's a short.. Translation of TokyoMex's post: a.) Sell your shares I am shorting. b.) I'd like to buy under $11 but $9 would be even better. c.) I have better technology than you do so I must be able to tell the future. Sell, Sell, Sell! d.) You're all a bunch of idiots so I know you will fall for these fear tactics and make me lots of money. e.) All of the above! Ok folks earlier today I issued a challenge to TokyoMex to pick one single stock that would outperform ABMI for one week over on the Tokyo Joe's Cafe thread. Message 4335081 I'm still waiting for him to pick a stock. I'm sorry to say from the tone of his last posts here it seems he won't be picking TAVA. I however remained convinced that TAVA will be going no where near $9. Still as much as I like TAVA for one week I like ABMI even better. Now this competition is only open to TokyoMex because he seems to be convinced that AMerican BioMed's products have no competitive advantages. Well I know TM has a reputation as one of the greatest stock pickers at SI but you'd think he might have one pick that he could post that he feels will outdo ABMI for one week. Wouldn't you? TAVA is not going to $9 for the same reason ABMI will continue to climb the market recognizes companies with competitive advantages and rewards those companies with appreciating share prices. GO TAVA! Regards, Jeff

Maybe I don't understand your post, TMex, but if everyone is shorting TAVA, why is the price rising? You'd think if everyone was shorting, all that selling would be driving the price down, not up. Also, aren't the earnings adjustments old news and already factored into the stock price? The bottom line is if TAVA comes up with a good CC and earnings report, the stock will rise quickly. If not, the stock will fall quickly. It seems to me that very little will happen until the 12th that will have a meaningful impact on the stock price, least of all these already released announcements. Finally, please explain how can you can tell TAVA is a short from your Level II screen? I'm definately no expert on this, but my understanding of these screens is that they show the bid/ask of the various MM's. Are you saying you can tell from the closing positions of the various MM's today that TAVA is going to tank near-term? If so, why did it close up today? Sorry if these are dumb questions, just trying to learn. Thanks. Dave~
