I strongly believe naked shorting occurs and have written dozens of letters regarding the practice to my congressional representatives, on both state and federal levels. I honestly don't have a feel for how it may have affected PBLS. I hope you are right and we see a huge price based on a massive cover. I do know if I were short and could see large financial numbers and a huge asset base coming from PBLS, I would cover very quickly to preserve any gains.
I don't expect the numbers you do but I could see .25/.50 per share next year after they have grown many of the divisions and we see some future guidance.
Don't write things like that, you will give people warm feelings... the kind of warm feelings that people don't like when they realize their leg is wet!
