Starting at roughly 12:20 Eastern this afternoon, IP, #59, the big ECU shorter identified by gwr, started selling again. First 19,000, then 15,000, then 16,000, and so on, some 93,000 shares sold as of a couple of minutes before 1:00. Boo to the seller on Xmas eve.

If some guy's shorting, I guess he thinks he's giving himself a last minute Christmas present at our expense. Little does he know that the return policy on that kind of present is going to end up giving us the gift and costing him dearly. Silly man. Works for me.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone and a prosperous new year. Still can't get used to palm trees covered in Christmas tree lights here in warm and sunny Florida. But I'm trying.
