I think those buying short are not "long" shorters.. IMO no "fuel" for more shorters because they tend to be smarter then the avg joe... IMO 10% short at this float @ 10 days will likely be about the norm....
The risk here is... assuming OS stay the same...There will be a day when they flat line EPS 2 Q's in a row and a pps settle point.. the PE will drop to a non super growth food stock type pe mode of 20-30... thus if $.35 becomes the norm... a EPS $.35 x 30 = $10.50... It's kinda a love hate feeling when they all pump the crap outta it.. when will the top happen?? also means they will beat the heck outta it too when this happens, a flat or drop happens. That's when it's fuel for shorts...
At this day... IMO this stock is a great long. I think there is a good chance that the company will come in at around an $.09 per share in the 3Q. Analyst Estimates say 2008 will be $.35/share as shown on chart below, but I think they will reach that ttm by 1stQ with smaller then current quarterly growth! Making it likely aggressive thinking longs will think continued growth levels... I really think we're gonna see $18.
The PE in the chart on the right assumes a PE at Analyst Estimates 2008
