What James and Co. need to do is get on national radio or TV and start bashing these idiotmongers..er..brokers..for their sleight of hand. If they are short, they screwed up, the company or investors shouldn't be held hostage because of that. If the SEC sees no reason to halt the stock, where the %$#@ do these brokers get the authority to do it, with no valid reason, other than "oops..damn..we screwed up on that one".
grrr..
