RE:RE:ShortsWK,, A few friends of mine have invested in pps in the past. (not here) What they would sometimes do is buy the PP, then short the shares. So let's say they buy a PP @ 1.20 when the shares are trading @ $1.50. They short @1.50, and then close their position with the PP shares when the lockup period expires, leaving them with a net profit and free warrants. This way their initial investment was always guaranteed. GL.
