I don't have to be long on a stock to be a mod ;) In fact, you should be GLAD that there is someone willing to take the other side of the coin. Blind loyalty to a stock gets you nowhere.
For the record, however...I've never shorted this stock. I don't short penny stocks...too many variables. What I HAVE done, however is bought on the dips and sold on the rises. What I have not done is held my position in ATRN past the end of a day. If I buy it, I sell it the same day no matter what.
This stock will continue to fluctuate, so there is great money in it...but it will continue to decline over time, so it is NOT a long hold.
