<<Overtime, stocks will trade to their fundamentals.>>

You mean like YHOO, AMZN, etc?

MP has said in the past he likes something more than just overvaluation to short a stock. With PVN, he was betting they would have trouble selling their inventory of loans (thus hurting their ability to fund more loans) because the securitization market was in the crapper. It would be nice to have him reaffirm that PVN is (still?) having real problems.

PVN's lofty multiple has to be seen in light of poor quality paper earnings and poor accounting for customer defaults which makes the multiple even more irrational. Also, they overpaid for the portfolios of junk credit card debt they purchased earlier in the year.
