Going to short sell TAVA, seems rather obvious to me. Why is there no contract value in the news release? Bunch of hype IMHO.

Lending weight to Tim's comment that shorts were caught napping was the sudden activity in the March $7.50 calls today. These would have been a relatively cheap way for napping shorts to limit their exposure while waiting to see how the USPS news plays out. It might also be a clue as to where shorts will seek to draw a line in the sand and attempt to defend their turf. If there is a lot of 1/32 and 1/64 action approaching $7.50, and we go through on good volume, it would be a good indication that the short-sellers will step aside, freeing TAVA for the run to $10 that Tim indicates.
