<<Oh my. Whatever happened to the VVUS "short squeeze"???>>

But...but...but...it is going straight to 20 isn't it? I guess the vast conspiracy of short sellers and the MMs was powerful enough to thwart the short squeeze.

Longing VVUS is akin to a religion. One must accept on faith the proposition that the stock will rise despite any evidence to the contrary. One must not be tempted by false prophets (investments) that promise better returns. Keep the faith.

Don't you just love the sheer irrational willpower evidenced by the following quote from the VVUS thread:

"No I didn't buy at 12 and I own over 30k shares. My last purchase was for 10k at 3 last October and my cost average is about 11. My minimal target is 13(to make up for my internut shorting loses)."

A quick check on my Y2K short portfolio:

Subject 15277

techstocks.com.

ACLY DOWN -82%
DDIM DOWN -89%
ZITL DOWN -92%
VIAS DOWN -93%
IMRS UP +20%

Interesting to note though that IMRS was the only one of these companies to abandon the "Y2K" business about a year and a half ago
