<< Don't fret, says Parshall, for Isis is not so stupid as to do one of those deals. She says if it does an offering -- and that's not certain -- Isis will avoid "any structure where it's clear that any sensible investors would go out and short the stock. We will minimize or completely avoid providing an opportunity for shorting." ISIP may have articulated specifics to flesh out this point that was not quoted. It may also be spin doctoring. The time is profoundly NOW for ISIP to come forth with substantive details in a public forum (rather than by phone with likely unofficial on-line leakage) Put the details to rest, publicaly. That way everybody has the same footing. Scott
