Interesting longjon, thanks, i hadn't seen that .... generally i'm extremely suspicious of these 'call yer certs' campaigns, as they are such a standard ploy of sleazy bulletin board promotions ... you may find this thread, and links from it, amusing [too bad the hog-calling wav doesn't work, i pasted the wrong one into the header, the real one was a hoot] - http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/subject.gsp?subjectid=27482
Every share sold short is a guaranteed future purchase of stock .... provided the outfit doesn't go belly-up, in which case none of this matters to longs ..... also provided that there is no naked shorting, which should be a hangin offense, since to sell something that doesn't exist is fraud, outright thievery ..... but overall i see shorts as part of the market, they provide a useful function, they help to keep it liquid and supply a bubble-popping service without which pure garbage could be bid to the moon until it was all hung on suckers, and then tanked from far higher
Good to see a skweeeeze once in a while though -ggg- .... such a thing is not inconceivable in gold, as i think generally the degree to which it can capture speculator interest is grossly underestimated .... i find it difficult to imagine that there are not a dozen or so Soroses out there scheming up how to run it big and cash in, since this makes eminent sense in a world of shakey fiat, they'd just be trending with their friend
