Diabullic, you missed a point. If you were short Aurelian, when it started to rise, then you could happily meet your call and own some quality stock as a consequence. The only big deal there would be how badly you overextended yourself in terms of leverage. In other words, could you meet the call? Because if you could, and the stock still had potential to grow, no big deal. You could always get back out of your position.

Of course, Aurelian is having political problems right now... I wonder how many have been shorting it, saying that if they were wrong, then they end up with a quality stock.
