You know, just because someone posts negatively about a company, it doesn't necessarily follow that they must be short that stock. I've never shorted a stock in my life and there are many I think negatively of, including this one. It's interesting on these message boards, that when a negative sentiment is offered the poster is accused of being a "short". Like it was something shameful, a despicable creature. A quite ineffective junior high schoolyard debate tactic. 1) you have no sac. A perfect example.

JBruin-- I am not short ELY because I do not know how the market will react to the news. If the stock were at $20, then I would be short. But at $10 it is a different story. I am confident with the info because I am the one that has read/heard with my own ears and eyes the news I am telling you. This is what I know: 1. Callaway is thinking about destroying $30 Million dollars worth of inventory and writing it off to shareholders. 2. Edwin Watts will begin selling Great Big Bertha's and Biggest Big Bertha's at roughly $9 above cost due to the huge amounts of inventory they are sitting on. I will leave it to you to decipher that news and what it means to future orders for GBBs and BBBs. This will be my last response to you. I will not respond to your banter. It is very childish. Good luck in Callaway---you are going to need it.
