DR Risk: Sorry, I guess I just do not understand your points. And from reading your post, you clearly do not understand mine. Good luck "vetting people as to their motivations and their reasons for the positions they take". It may be a noble task, but I fail to understand why. Me, I just try and invest to make money. Simple motive. When I invest, I like the company to have underlying value supporting my investment decision. Anything else simply does not make much economic sense to me. I do not buy lottery tickets. I also short stocks when I feel the underlying value does not support the price. Perhaps I could refer you to "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham if you wish to understand the motives of people like me. It may assist you with the vetting process. (I am sure there are other psychological reasons which motivate my posting, but I am unable to give references.) So, if << By definition value has no place in the same sentence with AIPN>>, why are you long and why should it be a "Hot focus for SI" on monday? (By the way, I agree with the comment. It is for that very reason the stock price has declined.) Sorry, but you have really confused me. To use vernacular (and please, I mean no offense, seriously), but you appear to be both "sucking and blowing". FoxyLoxy
