RE:RE:RE:Shorts are making a killing...can you show meGood response dave. While my name was not mentioned in your string of shorts, I will post mine if MrHulot posts his first - right from when he first started posting on this bull board. Fair? I have nothing to hide but these are not trades in the last 2 weeks - I have been short since February 2016 and have only added to my short position. All times when I have covered they were forced covering when my investment banker called in shares - that was not my chosing so not sure how that would show my strategy. There has also been times when I would have liked to add to my short (1 day prior to this last earnings) but the cost of borrow skyrocketed with my IB so I didn't add as much as I would have if the borrow would have stayed the same. So to be clear, these aren't transactions in the last two weeks but going 15 months or so. There was also a time when I was short the bonds (I am not now - as I believe that if restructuring is announced the unsecured bonds would go sharply higher and the share price will take tank). I would also insist that MrHulot shows his purchase when he started posting - and it is my understanding that he has "held strong for the long term" so there would be no trades, correct? But I am sure that he will try and make out that he was trading and buying the dips and selling at the daily highs. Yeah, right....

Still at this price, it is anyone's guess/prediction if Oberman can turn the ship and that is key, no matter what the pencil pusher analysts numbers crunch.
I am a still working older guy and still interested in learning. Though I am a long investor, I can see mshorting in some situations is the best play, though not sure it would work for me since I do not have time for day trading. Still, I ask any short, show me your trades in the last 2 weeks and how you made money. To me that should be simple and gives them an opportunity to show their investor smarts at someone's request...no need for the appearance of braggadocio
