>>I'm not sure if you meant this literally, but I think 2.2 million shares would exceed their 5% of shares outstanding restriction (unless the dilution is much greater than I realize).<<< Greg, Three investors shorting 733K shares each would bring them within the 5% mark at about 15 million outstanding. Just trying to figure out worst case scenarios. I can also just as easily make a best case that the shorting is done but i'll spare you the details. <g> Ed

Maybe you can help me here. The 5% is for the ammount of the conversion they hold? Well they really don't hold the shares shorted.They sold them .In this case, couldn't they cover 5% at a time and short as much as they wanted over the 5%. Theoretically they could short 5% a day? No?I really don't know. Thanks-Ed Craig-Your eyes not glazing over yet?
