Two weeks ago, we made 10% in Demand Media (DMD) thanks to JB. Today, we're going to try and do it again. The short interest has fallen from 23 days to cover to 9 days to cover.

Prediction of the way in which money will move, however, is a little like predicting just how much sugar will actually appear in every wad of cotton candy spun by hand at the local fairgrounds.
