Re: I wonder if we'll have a short squeeze soon. SR The shorts start losing money from here on out the smart ones should have covered. There is one very real danger for the shorts and that's a buy out, stranger things have happened. I'm not suggesting that a buy out is going to happen but if I was short personally, I would be looking over my shoulder. The fact remains that the Zip drive continues to gain market share and they're driving the prices down to further dominate the market. Just think about last quarter for a second. These guys drove prices down on their entire product line and still saved $49 million in expenses and a marginal -.03 loss. The boys have their house in order and are looking more attractive every day. IMO Regards Reseller
