Excellent comments.
I do not currently own SLI, but have read in here now and then, so sorry to barge in again, but I have one more thing to offer then I'll split.
A personal friend of mine is a broker, I do not do business with him or his firm, but in a discussion the other day the topic was shorting and naked shorting, the new shorting law of 2-28-11 etc.
All this guy does for a living is short stocks, and after listening to how it works I said, "us little people don't stand a chance do we?" He just laughed then shook his head left/right and said "A BIG NO to your question."
Later, Joe.
