Short for 33%, or Long for 275% ??? You choose. There will always be profit takers before and after earnings and after every run-up, but the REAL money is in the truth. The BEST the short sellers could have done, assuming you were not squeezed, would have been to short from 10/16/97 to 11/13/98 for a measly 33% gain also assuming you guessed the exact intraday highs and lows correctly. The long share holders however have experienced a more than whopping 275% gain in 52 weeks. Ask yourself this, and you needn't answer: How many of you have ever owned a stock that appreciated more than 275%? How many of you are up more than 275% in your portfolio for the past 52 weeks?
