Well I guess you missed the boat on that one. Doesn't appear to have a whole lot of down side potential now at 4 1/4. Me thinks we move up some now in the pm as the vulture shorts take their profits off the table.

On several occasions now I have seen trades go off at 4 7/8 with a bid 4 9/32 ask 4 5/16. Just now for 800 shares and a while earlier for 4000 shares. Someone needs to pay closer to the numbers they are punching in on their internet trading web site!

I suppose there was at least a million or two shares shorted last Friday. After that day my guess was that there was about 7 to 8 million shares short. Now that all the rats jumped ship where are those 7 to 8 million shares going to find cover???

I decided not to go short because there simply isn't much downside potential. It doesn't make sense to short a stock that's already in the dumps.
