Hi, I have not shorted any stocks yet in my investment experience. But, I am studying it now. TLSP is a very bad candidate for shorts. It has a ok balance sheet and a new management who is determined to improve the company performance. Stock price is still low and with very high expectation from investors. In a near or mid-term, shorting this stock is very risky. --Sam

Harry, thanks for posting your thoughts. I think Alessi is the key here,not the stock itself. Perhaps he does no nothing about the business, but neither do alot of the CEO's who take the helm of turnaround companys.I think at this point, it's not what he knows, but really who he knows. The man is admired in alot of circles, and has proven he can do what he is being paid for. I think we have some news coming, after Fridays action it seems inevitable.After watching the tape,i've come to the conclusion we wern't being run by daytraders, etc, they all would of bailed before the weekend. As far as the stock price goes, perhaps the company has landed one of these mega merged companys, or has another house on board?. I think alot of the rise has been from shorts covering,i'm sure if you couldn't get shares at 8, then most of the shares were already spoken for. The people who wanted out of this stock are long gone,and the stock is going into much stonger hands. It's been a wild ride so far, the street loves a turnaround, will Alessi do it? It looks like people already think he has, since he's already told us next qtrs earnings will be hurt to. I think anybody who want to short this again is looking for trouble, you will have to wait for the 3rd qtrs report to get any idea where the stock is headed. In this market,that's along time. Alex
