John, I'm curious: when you talk to CFOs, how do you identify yourself? Surely not as someone considering a massive short position? 8 ^ ) Do you pretend that you're thinking of going long?

It has been so long that I forgot where I covered EA, but it wasn't 3ish. Your characteristics of a good short should be printed out by any new (and old) readers of this thread to remember in looking for new shorts of this thread's nature. BTW, ZITL makes your list. It is off more than 10% today based on an astounding earnings (loss) report. SRCM also continuing the el-foldo after yesterday's meltdown. Looks like the buyout rumors was pump and dump at its finest.Wonder how many retail buyers are still sitting with this stock having bought in the high 20s and 30s? I still have my Oct 30 puts, but am looking to close these soon.
