in 10 institutional hands--out of 9 mil that is a
lot, and makes it clear lots of the shorts are inst.
holders. Also says 1.5 mil or so in mutual funds, which I
take to NOT inculde the inst. holdings, which means
we're only playing with about 1 mil. shares. By the
way, no other stock I own has anywhere near that
concentration in a few inst. players. Still long & will remain
so--
for college, but you're never to old to learn. I
haven't posted for two reasons, some posters are just
getting too stupid and childish for even me to respond
to(for those of you who know me that's pretty bad
because i like to push the envelope on having childish
fun). Number two, i'm traveling and there really isn't
much new to say about pixr, we're making millions and
millions of more earnings every day and this thing is
heading up. I know you'll find this hard to believe but i
really haven't had much to say lately. I'm about 90 %
bought in and everybody knows this thing is going to go
up big, it's just a matter of when, not if. Shorts
are shitting bricks, because you can't short pixr
anymore and toy story 2 is still putting up out of this
world box office numbers. One positive upgrade or the
slightlest little event will trigger this thing up, up ,up
like a jet rocket. I still believe that pixr will meet
or exceed 53 before the end of the year!
have
a merry christmas and a great holiday
all!
walt
p.s. Watch toy story 2 over the christmas and new
year's vacation, i have a feeling we are going to do
even higher numbers than what the already high
estimates are for toy story 2! All the school kids are
going to drag their parents to the movie theatre and
the adults are going to go back to see the new
trailers. Mark my words, we still have millions and
millions more earnings dollar$ $$$$$$ rolling in!
p.s.s. Merchandising revenue, toy story 2 revenue, and
abl revenue are all still waiting to come in the pixr
vault!! Captain i can't do anything this thing is going
to blow!!!!!
Went to see stuart little last night with the kids(boys 9 and 7). We all enjoyed it, but not close to ts2. I cannot believe that ts2 had such a strong weekend again. Very exciting.

Shares are not counted as part of the Float as
they are > 5% owners. Still point taken that the
tradeable shares are in very tight supply. I do not believe
that you can "short" shares and at the same time have
a long position. Can anyone clarify this?
Yes, you can short shares at the same time as
holding a long position. It's called shorting against the
box. It's often done when you want to lock in some
gains on a volatile stock. If price goes up - hopefully
you've shorted less than you own and you still make
money on the additional shares. If price still goes up,
instead of having to buy shares to cover your short
position, you instruct your broker to use shares you
already own to cover your position. If the share price
goes down, you cover by buying at a lower price and
still own all your long position to take part in future
increases. Very useful strategy for a stock that has a hard
time breaking well above $50 or below $35 - hence
trading stock.
Thanks for the info on >5% ownership not
counted in float; didn't know that. I also don't know if
longs can short; I assumed they could, but don't play
such games myself. If longs can't short, it becomes a
puzzle how we can have 4 mil. shares shorted, as the
puddle we're in ain't that deep.
