Fellas, for everyone who is afraid of the insiders "pumping and dumping", take a look at the Section 16 SEC filings.... every insider who makes a sale or purchase of stock must file the transaction in according to Sectin 16 of the Securities Exchange Act. of 1934..... revised in 2002 under the Sarbanes Oxley Act so that they must be filed no later than the end of the second business day after the transaction is processed. The last Section 16 filing for FUSE was back in October when that one director left the co.


Also, questions about institutional investors holding short and long positions? It's simply hedging. Every institutional investor, life insurance co., financial services co., investment bank, ect., hedges like this. Most of the time they just purchase options or futures in the same investment(or perhaps an index due to the better liquidity)... but if they are needed, they execute the contract... if not, they let the options expire and they are only out the cost of contract. No institutional investor is truely attempting to make money on the hedges as well as the long positions at the same time.... it's a one way or the other scenario, but this way they are most likely not going to lose money.

Keep in mind, when you purchase stock you know exactly how much you may lose... but shorting stock, the sky is the limit with your losses.
