It's stinky pinkie land so the stock is easier to manipulate.

Going by your numbers and we assume others are right about the short positions.

Long position only:

$.17 --> $.28 = 65% gain.


Short position and long position:

$.17 --> $.115 short = 29%

$.115 --> $.28 long = 143%
------------------------------------------------

--65% gain long position only.

-- 172% (143 + 29) gain on long and short position.

If that's the case, that's good coin playing both sides. That's why I call pink sheet issues stinky pinkies. :-)

Fellas, for everyone who is afraid of the insiders "pumping and dumping", take a look at the Section 16 SEC filings.... every insider who makes a sale or purchase of stock must file the transaction in according to Sectin 16 of the Securities Exchange Act. of 1934..... revised in 2002 under the Sarbanes Oxley Act so that they must be filed no later than the end of the second business day after the transaction is processed. The last Section 16 filing for FUSE was back in October when that one director left the co.


Also, questions about institutional investors holding short and long positions? It's simply hedging. Every institutional investor, life insurance co., financial services co., investment bank, ect., hedges like this. Most of the time they just purchase options or futures in the same investment(or perhaps an index due to the better liquidity)... but if they are needed, they execute the contract... if not, they let the options expire and they are only out the cost of contract. No institutional investor is truely attempting to make money on the hedges as well as the long positions at the same time.... it's a one way or the other scenario, but this way they are most likely not going to lose money.

Keep in mind, when you purchase stock you know exactly how much you may lose... but shorting stock, the sky is the limit with your losses.
