gumpy.....where in any of my posts have you seen me defending anyone short or otherwise? I ask questions of everyone and anyone I see fit to ask. So, what you're telling me is if Frizzy hadn't come along, a short would never be exposed? Frizzy is the giant killer??? What were you planning on doing before he showed up? I do believe you bought the stock long ago. You bought stock in a company you had no prospects for with a CEO you didn't respect?....and you just magically figured things would work out to your liking? What an odd investment strategy.
