I checked my information, and I was correct. According to the April Proxy Statement for LHS Group Inc, I found the following: Holders on 5% or more of LHSG: General Atlantic Partners, LLC 5,905,810 22.9% Dr. Rainer Zimmermann 1,463,903 5.7% Directors and Executive Officers: 16,712,621 64.1% This pre split. If 5,905,810 are equal to 22.9% of shares out, then the total shares out is 25,789,563 (which matches Yahoo!'s post split calc of 52.1 million - they must have issued an additional 500k for incentive plans or something). Ther shares above equal 24,082,334. That leaves a float of 1.7 million shares pre split, or 3.4 million post split. Yahoo! shows a float of 1.6 million, perhaps it is an error, or there has been some events that effected the total float since April, I don't know. Nonetheless, the question stands, is it safe to short a stock with a small float? If so, let's rock!

This second post in error. Don't read. Blank. For those of you interested, when I posted the last message, I got a response from the SI server saying, "The page you requested not found." So I went back, and tried again, same thing happened. I went back to the thread, and saw they actually did post. Oh well. Not my error. So don't complain you little quadruple turd, Mr. Beaver Spunk.
