Yes, and it is also topical. The topic on this thread is finding companies that have been unfairly hurt buy shorters. Not the merits of shorting.

This next part is actually off topic but as far as shorting goes, I think our market system fails when it allows unlimited shorting. I can understand allowing a certain percentage of the total shares (10% maybe?) so brokers can do business, but there should also be time time limits (like five days) in which a short position must be covered.

The current system is very unfair to small companies trying to grow. When MM's can short all they want (over 4x the outstanding shares) and never have to cover, then the most basic rule of supply and demand is broken. No wonder it is so hard to break out of the pennies. Monty

""Ms. Lewinsky testified that her physical relationship with the President included oral sex but not sexual intercourse.(38) According to Ms. Lewinsky, she performed oral sex on the President; he never performed oral sex on her.(39) Initially, according to Ms. Lewinsky, the President would not let her perform oral sex to completion. In Ms. Lewinsky's understanding, his refusal was related to "trust and not knowing me well enough."(40) During their last two sexual encounters, both in 1997, he did ejaculate.(41)

According to Ms. Lewinsky, she performed oral sex on the President on nine occasions. On all nine of those occasions, the President fondled and kissed her bare breasts. He touched her genitals, both through her underwear and directly, bringing her to orgasm on two occasions. On one occasion, the President inserted a cigar into her vagina. On another occasion, she and the President had brief genital-to-genital contact.(42) ""
