Good evening, Ghunk. You are correct that shorting is just another way of skinning the profit cat. Some companies actively engage in controlling the direction of their stock while others do not. Companies that attempt to control the price of their stock tend to worry more about their stock price than fundamentals. Sideware, on the other hand, is concentrating all its resources on fundamentals. Though short sellers can play with a company in the short term, fundamentals will win out in the end and SYD will achieve maximum shareholder value. At the end of the day, short sellers will never really go away and continue to play a role in companies even as big as Microsoft, Yahoo and others. If Bill Gates worried about short sellers on a daily basis, where would MSFT be today? We would also like to second Gator's position that SYD could be a $10-20 stock in the near future. Sideware is right on the edge of becoming a real player in the US e-commerce game. The fact that SAIC, IBM, Metrocall and Sun Micro have already thrown their hat in the ring means SYD is one deal away from hitting those numbers. If you think this is ambitious, look at the comments we used to receive when SYD was a .29-.35 stock. Back then, we reminded investors that SYD was extremely strong from a fundamental basis, despite the fact it was not reflected in it's share price. Today, SYD is a $1.60-2.12 stock and gaining fundamental strenght with every press release. A US office, former Ascend exec's now SYD V.P.'s and deals with the likes of Metrocall lead us to the same conclusions we made months ago. This company is getting stronger. The name of the game is patience and giving your investment the time it needs to achieve it's potential. Have a great day. Regards, AGORAagoracorp.com
