Yes Jonesie, the 'longs' who believed the PR embellishments (worse than that) and Russel Index funds who were mandated to buy TIV shares sure got financially hammered, whereas the bluff calling shorts racked in huge profits during 2010! Actually, for a few years in a row now.
Do you think TIV is selling assets to certain dearest friends for pennies on the dollar so that a certain "investment group" can eventually own TIV, lock, stock and barrel for many millions less than if they paid 50 cents-$1/share, times 38 million shares, to take TIV private?
Happy Holidays to you too!
