RE: GXS short 6- 8 million dollars...The mags indicate an anomaly 7 kms by 17 kms, as I recall. So if you take a conservative box 4 kms square and 25 meters thick. for 20 million shares, 1.3 tonnes per cubic meter, and $75 a ton.The in situ value per share is $1950 per share. Usually about a quarter of that is the stock price. $500 a share.
A long investor can only lose his initial investment, a short can lose forever. It is a long way from $15 to $500. 10,000 shares would be a loss of $4,850,000.
Good on you, at least the have the courage to put your money where your mouth is!!!
