That's a bet of $6.5 Million (50K*130) in cash or $3.25M with margin!

Are you for real?

Come on, SHOW ME THE MONEY!

I sure hope not. You were supposedly called at 115 or so:

I have never felt more confident about a short position in my life. If you will recall last week I shorted the stock at 98, not quite at the peak but close enough.. I invested every penny I had, leaving only a small amount of upside potential in my margin balance to keep me from getting a call should it rise a bit. (the call would have been made at 115, btw)

Good luck to you OC. This hilarity of stock speculation has to pop sooner or later, doesn't it?
