Quote from Daal:

Read the original report Citron did(Its on my journal The Shorting of Bankrupt Stocks)

Just finished reading it.
That's a good report.

If this thing re-opens inside the wings it's a winner. Vol will drop. I never got a chance to move any.

Daal · Sep 19, 2012

It will resume at 15:05. Management is putting statement saying 'everything is fine guys'
