RE: Hous posn's 2 m tse timehillclimb,
One last set of comments on the shorting issue. We also don't know what other companies these brokerages owned. Were they loaded up on other high tech companies, they could be doing a wholesale unloading of their positions. If they have funds, these funds could be getting redemptions or are preparing for window dressing.
My thoughts are that it is simply too risky to be shorting WIN at these levels. No one with any confidence can say that the stock will continue to decline. If the stock continues to decline, other companies will simply not pass up the opportunity to buy the company for its patent, rights, and intellectual capital. What will that price be? No one knows for sure, but I suspect it ain't too much lower.
