Another advantage that short sellers have is that there are few among us who have not had a stock tank on us and never recover. I'm sure there are any number of us out there that could generate long lists of such companies. Anyone remember Centennial Technologies? So, when the shorts succeed in driving prices down, lots of old negative memories and associations move into awareness. It seems one of the major ways to deal with such experiences is to do everything you can to scope out the REAL facts in a situation. Call IR departments. Ask tough questions. Listen to both what they tell you, what they don't tell you and how they deliver the information. Learn what you need to, to be able to make a confident, informed decision. And, as they used to remind viewers each week on Hill Street Blues: "Be careful out there."

Thanks Steve. I haven't posted here in awhile. I typically buy a stock for the long term unless the story changes. This recent price has certainly caused me to question holding or not. I've kept up with the tread and have tried to wade through all the crap posts from the emotional basket cases here...not an easy job. What's your take on the price drop? Going from $17 to under $11 with no news (maybe THAT's the reason) is not comforting. A CCSI long in need of a warm word of logical support. <H>
