voodoo: Your short may be fine for next week or next month. Growth, particularly sustained growth, needs to replace this sustained shrinkage for your near-term short to weigh you down. There is room for both you and me to make money on this stock. Until next quarter's earnings come around, Adaptec is a crap shoot. It's recent rise is based on little more than faith, hope, and other intangibles looking forward. I'm betting the long term, and obviously I think I'll win. You are betting the short term, and may win too. As for profits and stock price and P/E, there are loads of stocks out there that defy your logic and which have defeated the best of shorts.

Good luck.

voodoo, you need to cover. Stocks are priced off of expected earnings, not historical. Expectations on this thing are going up whether the actual does or not.
