Regarding shorts learning their lessons.........From iomega to pressteck to amzon and yahoo...i've seen lots of shorts take it in the shorts.Eventually they are right,but many of them died on the bush while they waited.Whats his name Metz that's been preidicting a major bear market for 6 years now.What happened to Kurlack from Merril that called intel to 50,didn't he just move on.And who was that other guy that cnbc gave free airtime to bash Iomega and Pressteck while blaming soes bandits for ruining the spreads for mm's.Eventually they all were proved right,but pump and dump and sream and ream continue aand the nimbles will make money.I don't see anyone getting smarter or wiser,I see the same old things over and over!I am long sevl and I was long navr!I made some very nice profits on the long side with Navr and I think I might have a repeat with sevl.I hope you short and short and short this one Anthony,I think you at some point will be right but I hope to be long gone by the time you are!Question tho,were you once a MM?To ask a short to respond truthfully is like asking a lawyer for a refund when he loses your case--it ain't gonna happen!

The funny thing about this whole subject of shorting sevl,, is that if it is a lonely swimmer with dire prospects,, there is no other option but for the pros to gap up the stock with eager anticipation,,, every pro will be hoping and helping the stock to go higher and higher in a mad squeez, if possible,,, enabling them to place shorts that will be profitable ,very profitable as time runs on,,, going short is not wise until you think you can safely determine how high the pros and the market gyrations can drive it. I wouldnt worry about wandering if sevl is a potential short killer like amzn,, I doubt it is considered a or the leader in its field. As the day progreses on Monday and brokers start to tell you no shares available,, we cant find any shares,, then you know there is a tempoarary problem if your presently short at these levels,, Thats when they start squeezing,, and many of these SI folks dont have the pockets to hold on to many squeezes. Im looking at a target of 8 on SEVL. Then i would reconsider.... you heard it here first 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 .... or you could get supersticious and pick 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7. Ok we will be prudent 7-8 7-8 7-8 7-8 7-8 7-8 7-8 7-8 =====7.5 By the way a recently absurdly skyrocketing stock from the anals of daytrader 2-day absurdities is removing itself from nearterm potential spike a roonies,, Hbco,, announced a major restating of earnings. Bye Bye Hbco it was fun while it lasted.
