....some thoughts....

The best way to make companies pay for blatent valuation manipulation is 
to short their stock...pass the word...

If the Red Hat claim has merit then Red Hat would have done better 
shorting $1,000,000 in SCO stock to cover their damages.  The lawsuit 
will reap little as SCO is basically broke...

This is a good time to make some money yourself if you feel so certain 
that SCO is manipulating their stock...

If you don't have the money to open a brokerage account then get 
together a group of friends and do so...if you can't trust people in the 
open source community then who can you trust?

Any "profits" can always be donated back to the OSF...if you are just 
too liberal to stomach the idea of capital gains.  After all, you are 
only taking money from people betting against Linux, right?

In any case, to kick things off I'm in at 12.61.  Wish me luck...
