Just a thought or two here. 1.) Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that Marie does not post at all after 6:00 p.m.? What time do MM's get off work these days? I hate using that as an excuse, but if you look at the short ratio and then look at how much time Marie spends here (for somebody that has NO position), you have to wonder, don't you? 2.) Looking at the chart again, the Bollinger Bands are still very tight even after today. Also, SHRP seems to be bouncing nicely off it's 50 day moving average (a very positive sign, IMO). 3.) Part of me thinks that SHRP will release some even bigger news. Maybe another major alliance with another internet portal. Oh, you have to love the way that SHRP's PR department release's big news either before OR after the bell. Nice way to trap the shorts, IMO. All of this IMHO, of course. JR

Hey Midas, It wasn't long ago that I started trading and I remember what it is to be unsure of how things like shorting stocks affects prices... and so, for those who are newer to trading I occasionally take the time to explain as concisely as I can what I think is going on and how newer traders can avoid the mistakes I made when I started. I sold EBAY after a few dollars gain. I didn't know any better. I don't mind trying to help others avoid the same mistakes if I can. And if some posts are too basic for a pro like you, just skip over them; no need to be angry. I wish you, as well as those newer traders, the best of fortunes. Sorry if I offended you, I write with only good intentions. Barry

Ok Marie, I give up. This 2MM in insider sales # (in past year) is not credible to me, nor is it similar to what I had calculated several months ago. Where are you getting this number from? Does it include share issues? I seem to think the actual insider sales was closer to 3-500,000 shares. I'm not saying you are wrong, just would like confirmation. Intuitively that number dosen't sound right at all. I'd check it out again, but I've done my homework before I bought, and don't have time to do it again tonight. Thanks.
