So tell me, did you really believe that I had a 6,570,999 short position? (and did you know that its not polite to ask people (repeatedly) what their position is?) Anyway, how were you 'mislead' by this post? Was it as misleading as some rumors that were posted by people who had "information from knowledgable sources"? Welcome Back. P.S. Honestly, if I had known that you (or certain 'yeasayers') were so naive as to believe that position, I wouldn't have posted it. P.P.S. Just to be on the safe side (you never know what some will believe), that 6,570,999 short position that I stated in the 1st sentence is meant to be a ridiculous answer to a badgering question (and questioner). P.P.P.S: LGND is no longer a 'teenager' P.P.P.P.S: "Wait 'till Monday!" Cheers!

<However, those who post false info (like their position in LGND) and then call anyone who believed their post a "fool", is a good example of deliberately misleading info. ''> Alper, Why are you asking Tonyt what his position is? I think the one you should be asking is Henry.

Alper, Nice to see you back. Your posts seem to trigger a "pinochio effect" in our famous naysayer . Each false post is followed by another slightly larger exaggeration. Last Nov the short position went from 30,000 to 60,000 to 90,000 as the posted was edited and re-edited over a 15 min period. Now we are told that the post was "over a year ago (which of course is silly since AMLN tanked less than a year ago and our famous naysayer didn't take up residence here until after the plunge). This morning the short position went to over 5 million shares: Message 5186126 then it grew to over 6 million: Message 5194442 and by this evening it was over 8 million: Message 5196038
