Mr Pink....would appreciate your view on BT. Do you believe in those rumors that they are in financial trouble? Thanks for your help

So why short LBFC now? If they've pre-sold their loans through early next year, earnings should hold up for the next 2 quarters. By then, the market for their loans may have recovered. What will be the catalyst to drive down the stock price (other then your recommendation)? Why not wait? thestreet.com recently had a positive article on LBFC: archive.thestreet.com Mr. Pink, are you just shorting any FBR IPO companies? Not a bad strategy lately, but LBFC doesn't seem to have any accounting problems to hide, unlike the other sub-prime lenders. I have no position in LBFC, but I'd been thinking of buying, not shorting. Dennis
