If you watched CSPAN on tv last nite you may want to take another position about shorting.The senate investigative committee had Bernanke,Paulson & SEC chairman Chris Cox on the hot seat.Shorting & naked shorting were the topic of interest because of wide spread manipulation of equity stocks.The OTC also is under scrutiny.One thing that was discussed is the uptick rule on shorting.Sen Charles Schumer wants the uptick rule back in place,but not like before,he want 12 upticks to coincide with the old short rule of 1/8 before the decimal system came out.This seems like a good idea to me.It will keep the short spread more honest & less manipulative to several clicks especially on cheap stocks like this one.If you had to short on 12 ticks up here there would be very little shorting done until it got out of the cellar.

Thankfully their are few people interested in this particular thread.Only several that are on to your agenda.At last count these facilities had 60 employees.If they were in such bad shape,they would not likely be able to attract people that are qualified to work in this capacity.The medical community is a tight knit group.Word travels fast.
