Motley Fool has TIV in a "10 Stocks Under Attack" list

I've excerpted a bit of it here, worth a read all the way through. A couple of them have 'high' CAPS ratings because members think their short woes are short term. TIV's CAPS rating in this article is 1 out of a possible 5.

10 Stocks Under Attack
By Rich Duprey
August 25, 2008

Since everyone loves a winner, it's reasonable to assume that everyone hates a loser -- everyone but short sellers, at least. These contrarian investors bet that hot stocks are primed to fall, aiming to turn their pessimism into potential profits.

This week, let's look at companies on the American Stock Exchange with the largest proportions of shares sold short among their float. Combining that with the collective intelligence of Motley Fool CAPS, we'll see which of these firms Fools believe have the power to make short work of short sellers.

Of course, this isn't a list of stocks to buy -- or short! These stocks could have serious problems that warrant their short interest, but they might also be stricken by short-term troubles. Only Foolish due diligence will tell you for certain, and for that, our 115,000-strong CAPS community offers a good place to start.
