I didn't even see that before posted about the insider selling it looks like Mikey wants an increase in his weekly allowance do you think today's jump was a short squeeze?? I still kick myself - I had a sell short order for 200 shares last year (around $300/share) and i backed away from the confirm button Message 13243280 DOH ! I'd hate to short this thing now and get caught in a short squeeze (anyone still holding is obviously brainwashed by Mikey and will do what he says)

Well, I did hit the confirm button, but it was a limit order than never filled: Message 12288533 As for today's action, this is the reason: How Stockholders Can Help Combat Short Selling. To carry out short sales, traders need to borrow stock from brokers that is registered in ``street name'' or held in a margin account. However, if enough stock is taken out of street name or margin accounts, short sellers will have difficulty maintaining the current volume of short sales. Therefore, we are asking all of our shareholders to do the following: Promptly call your brokers and have your MicroStrategy stock taken out of street name or put into a cash account. This only means that instead of your shares being registered in your broker's name or being held in a margin account, they would be registered in your name or placed in a cash account. You would still own the stock, and your ability to hold or sell the stock would not change. Usually the effect of this is only short term because, while it creates a temporary demand for the stock as shorts are forced to cover, it does nothing to help the fundamentals. The price of the stock reflects the fundamentals, not the other way around. Carl

If Saylor was so concerned about short selling, why did he sign off on that floorless debenture? What nonesense. And you're right, the fundamentals are still bleak.

So, why the FLOORLESS??? Q: How much cash and how much debt do you have? A: We have $100 million in cash, and we don't have any debt. Q: Could you raise cash for the next wave of product development? A: We don't need any cash for the next wave. We're spending about $30 million to $40 million a year on research and development, and that's enough. In a horrible market, we raised $53 million for strategy.com last year, selling just 15% of the business. businessweek.com
