MRD, I ve read thru the IFLY prospectus much earlier this year, read all about their plans, their running costs and the troubles with their 1-800 numbers... But you seem to have missed on point about the "internet" signal. Despite posing as an internut has been exaggerated recently in stock prices, the basics of the message are unchanged. If a company can move away from the normal brick&mortar business to a cheaper and more lean (in terms of turnover-related) cost structure they should have a competitive advantage in the long run. Right now, we don't know how much will be brought to the bottomline but it is widely perceived that it should do. As for IFLY, which seemingly did a "no fish-no meat" course when first telling that they have to do (or will do) sales also over the net but then deny to be a "internet-related" company (when the internet market wore off) makes me even more scared. And don't forget the possible warrant jack here. not convinced.... C.

Gee Mark, If IFLY is such a good, stable company, why do you care what Auric says or if anyone is short it? Ultimately, the stock price will follow financial results. Short sellers have no affect on the long term move of stocks as they will have to buy eventually unless the company goes under. You can't stop good financials and performance. The people who participate in this thread do so because we value what Auric has to say due to previous experience with him. On the other hand, we have no idea who you are and your track record. You just seem like another in the endless stream of hypesters who post in the short seller threads thinking they can prop up their stocks with dire threats of how much money we will lose. Get real.
