First of all I didn't recommend anything. I stated I was shorting it. If you don't like it tough $hit. If it goes up and I can't afford to hang, I lose money, BFD. I don't see why you get so bent because I dion't share your herd mentality. I do know one thing, every time a bunch of longs think they are getting rich, I usaully make a killing shorting the same stock. I hope you buy more tomorrow because I would like to sell more tomorrow. In the end we will see, till then keep on buying somebody has to or I can't keep selling. I want to sell another 8000 shares or so, care to oblige me????? BTW do you have those 3 recos from intelligent analysts?

William, This sort of dribble pops up on bulletin boards often after a stock has risen or fallen. While I cannot explain the logic behind any one persons desire to go long on a stock decreasing in value seeking a bottom and conversely, shorting against the board a stock with strong and possibly immediate upward momentum, this is what equalibrializes markets. Short sellers are as important as buyers and this is what keeps markets in check. As much as there are those who enjoy hyping stocks for personal gain, there are equal numbers who take pleasure in desecrating companies for no apparent reasons other than for personal satisfaction or prospective financial gain. What Mr. Bear's objectives are I don't know and don't really care to know. It could be just an exercise of free speech of which he is entitled or perhaps intuition based on how BB stocks typically perform. Personally, I believe this is an instance of where someone doesn't really know the company or the biz as evidenced by their previous postings. Tom
