Thanks for your response, Razorback. Choosing to short the stock is really not bashing, in my view, just a very risky strategy. It has been done successfully for the past few years while the stock has swung between $5 and $10, but the possible gains are fairly limited compared to the potential gains on the long side. The risk of shorting a stock like this, it seems to me, is very high because it has the potential of suddenly rocketing up as the result of a contract announcement. Unless you catch it within minutes, you may have to pay a lot to cover. Very risky, I think. - T -
