momentumtrader that was truly a greatly informative post. Like you, I intend to hold for a long time, however long that may be. I know nothing about naked shorting, although I did see PPS slide even in the face of buying activity as you described. Anyway I have too many shares to even flip even if I felt inclined to do so, which I won't do because I cannot stay glued to the screen enough during trading hours. Thanks for that nice discussion.
