Jim: Old news. These are trades that settled by the 15th. Go back 3 business days and you're at June 10. So we had 1.23 mill short at the end of trading on the 10th. That's all we know. On June 11th, the WWF story broke. Formerly smug shorts upchucked breakfasts onto keyboards that morning, ruining them, but I'm guessing many were still able to gasp "cover!" to amused brokers over the phone. Huge volume on the 11th and 12th. So the timing of all this makes the short position hard to guess. Probably still large, but south of a million. Wade
