Relax Sun....the only reason any of us ever read or post on Yahoo is for shear entertainment. That board is apparently dominated (at least on down days) by college kids who are ditching class. Those posts are only good for a few chuckles... And for what it's worth, I doubt that many serious investors really read or care what the moronic Yahoo posters write. I certainly appreciate your many posts and value your insights...and I'm sure I speak for most of us here. Most "good" posters have been chased away form Yahoo...Got2MuchTime, Brett Jacobs, etc. David

(2) That the short interest is insignificant and chances of a squeeze are nill. The shorts have had their way with this stock for a while now. I would venture to guess that most are short around $25 or so (maybe as high as $40). This can make them pretty fearless about a squeeze. I am still suprized by the tenacity of the short positions as I wouldn't think that the stock could get pushed much lower, so even if they don't have to cover it's just going to be dead money for them until they do. This leads me to think that the short position is concentrated in one or two sellers and they are not sure how to unwind the position gracefully. TP
