"shorts can make these people run simply by doing what you are doing so effectively now." Which would be what, pointing out reality? I'm sorry, I don't subscribe to the theory that says you can make money by shorting a good company and then posting hyperbole on a message board. I believe these message boards have very little effect on day to day price fluctuations. Nasdaq certainly didn't send the intent to delist letter to TRBD because of postings on the 'net. One observation I have made is that I've never seen anyone post that they've sold their long shares due to postings by shorts. The folks who believe in this always cite unnamed lurkers. But the fact is that if it had happened, I think you'd have seen those posts. BTW Jim, I never did manage to find shares to short. I think I've told you that about a dozen times. What's my percentage for scaring folks out? Barb
