PSS World Medical Inc. (NASDAQ: PSSI) is seeing extreme volatility Wednesday after TheStreetSweeper.org issued a negative report on the company.

The reports highlighted a heavy debt load and forensic accountant Keith Mautner said it wouldn't surprise him if the company was " trying to hide something."

"They're doing things companies that engage in fraud also do, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are engaging in fraud themselves," Mautner added.

Issues that deserve closer examination, according to TheStreetSweeper, include: Falling profits; history of missed estimates; Failed buy-out shears shareholders, fires up concerns; Heavy debt; Restructuring bothers analysts; Some analysts downgrade; Losing out to big competitors; Inadequate hospital distribution; Insiders selling.

TheStreetSweeper disclosed that it has sold a total of 124,203 shares of PSSI short at an average price of $22.66 a share.

After falling as low as $21.27 upon the release of the report, shares recovered are are now down just 0.6% to $22.86.
