The story is always the same. Numbers are released. Fools rush in and short the heck out of the stock believing the "theory" that you can buy the rumor and sell the news. And then the company floats a "surprise" announcement. The momo crowd jumps in and the shorts run for cover. Gotta either have brass cahonas or a low IQ to short a stock like this one on a day like today. That said, I'd be surprised if RNWK were to be acquired. My guess is they are partnering up will someone big. Maybe getting an equity investment. And after the coming announcement? Another round of shortselling. Some people never learn.
