joe,

Just trying to figure out what I did wrong, so I can
whup you next time <g>

Well try not being so negative. With the price where it is, it is an awful hard stock to short with any certainty. Sure it was easy at $35 or $40, a lot more room to fall, but at ~$27 you risk getting burned much worse than the money you MAY make shorting it.

The shorts can have their day on any issue. I wish to thank them for helping it get to this level to buy. Breath will not be held for 25 but if it gets there the boat gets loaded. When the shorts need to cover I'll put a little out at 33.
