  1. Hello,

    Seems Cramer usually has something + to say about this. I think he likes the shorts getting hammered, while the momentum traders keep piling on @ their expense. Here's his latest:

    It's definitely a tough nut to crack & just keeps going, reminds me of some of the early Big name techs that rose up to 10,000% during the late 90s. Dell comes to mind as just one, the stock chart looked like it went straight up the face of a cliff. Could the same be happening here? The pullbacks are sure shallow & short lived, no pun intended!:) Has backed off considerably since the morning ramp, I've seen it happen time & again.

    Good Luck to anyone shorting, & Congrats to the newly minted Millionaires out there. Hopefully greed doesn't get the better of them, & they sell some stock to lock in gains, or have a trailing stop.

  5. Damn, option orders in TASR are executed very slowly right now. I was willing to cover some naked calls at the offer and it took some 10 seconds until options were filled. In addition, I placed orders on the bid that are 0.10 above the best bid fom smart order routing tool from IB, but my orders can not be seen on the bid.

    That's not so nice, guys.

    I'll tell you when.

    I was a police officer in a major metro. dept. for a number of years and I wouldn't be long this thing.

    What happens if (when) some suspect gets stung and drops dead right in the middle of the street?

    I can see the news footage now.

    Even if the gun wasn't the proximate cause of the death, everyone in the world is going to trip over themselves to get in on the lawsuit.

    Every dept. will drop this product like a bag of rocks when that happens.

    Limiting Liability is the number one objective of any police dept. these days.

    75% of my training was in risk reduction (liability, not personal injury).

    Just my opinion.
