Nick: New here, but curious. I've seen the word used before in the same context, so could you explain what is meant by 'attack'? Thank you

>>>Shorting just because you see an "emotional" post from a long, without doing your own DD is not what a real investor does, is it?<<< Short term trading is more about psychology that anything. It is a peculiar thing, but I have found that the more adamant the bulls are, the less impressive the fundamentals are. DELL longs don't really need to posture and challenge people who might go on the other side of the trade. BTW, I often take a small position just to keep myself interested. I can't tell you how often I've heard nonsense like yours, and how rarely it results in any kind of serious squeeze. But hell, even Skipard agrees that the shorts are going to destroy CCSI. Why not grab a piece of the action? Don't worry about me, I know how to manage my port. Barb
